Which bar? Just because 8 and 10 Mpixel cameras are out there at similar pricing doesn't mean that they do any better on image quality. The entry-level DSLR market generally isn't concerned with making a 13x19 and larger presentation prints, the difference in ultimate resolution is barely noticeable at 8x12 and 11x17 inch print sizes. Perhaps you mean the marketing bar. Regardless, the Pentax 6Mpixel SLRs return superb results. I'm finishing up another exhibit's batch of 11x14s right now and the quality is delightful. As long as the sensor is available, it's proven technology that will make excellent photographs. As time goes on, they'll be available for lower and lower prices. Why kill a good thing? Far as I can tell from reports, the K110D is an advance on the DL models in having faster AF, improved JPEG rendering out of the camera, and commonality of parts with the K100D. Why not sell it?
