Why does it have faster AF though (did I miss something?).
Apparently its very important to Canon and Nikon users.
I must admit after using a friends D90 I couls see that Pentax is lagging behind a bit there.
Very helpful for sports shooters so Im told.

My main gripe with the K10D.

Depends on how much the camera is going to be but I wouldn't have much use for a weather sealed kit lens as I have my DA* 16-50mm f2.8.

I wonder how many more sales would be generated by a slick looking & easy to navigate website ? A fair few I would imagine.
They may even get a few enquiries for the new K-7.
If they bothered to put it on the web site.

Nearly forgot smaller body.

Actually thats not a plus in my book but at least it can be made chunkier with the grip.

doesn't seem much better than the k20 to me, i expect more,
More fps
Faster AF
faster shutter speeds
mag alloy body
New image processor
new dust system
100% viewfinder coverage
HD video with jack
better live view
face recognition
bigger lcd with more pixels
better exposure
new focus screen which is better for manual focus
built in AF assist light

To name but some differences.

What more did you expect?
