I found K10D body only for $820 new on ebay within a month of its inital release. Now its $509 a year later. I agree though, the K10D will probably sell out quite fast. At current pricing its a steal. jco

They're already supposed to be out of production and are getting rare on the ground. I expect most stores to be out of them before the K20D ships in a month or so. But also remember that it's $300 in improvements, not $700. K10D was $999 with the kit lens when introduced. Expect price on the K20D to drop after the initial demand is filled, probably in late summer. I don't expect it to ever get quite as aggressively priced as the K10D though, Pentax somewhat overdid their aggressive pricing there. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
