Default To potential new owner of Pentax dSLR

Info is out that K10D and K100 is here to stay till end of next year (maybe earlier)
2 possible new dSLR body might be out to target market for entry (read D40x and E410 for example) and semi-pro (read D200 and 40D for example).

For potential switchers/owners of Pentax K10D/K100, you can kindly proceed to the cashier and pay for your camera...

Isn't the K100D already an entry level and the K10D a semi-pro camera? For those undecided, no need to wait, can buy already.

I thought K10D is on serious level liao. Yet they are coming up with another better version?

Further, K10D is priced quite reasonable compared to the lower end model by other brands. No reason to wait, if you are looking at the body.

The reason for me to wait, is probably the lens and the flash...

K10D is well priced. But K100D I'm hoping to see its successor, but 6MP is enough for now

What i have read up was k10D remain as pro body in pentax line of dSLR while K100 remain as it is as well.
The possible 2 new bodies are to target the market which entry model like D40x and E410 are catering to.
Successor to K100 is quite likely i think... but K10D will remain the top from what i see...
Of cos, please kindly take my words as the lowest form of entertainment... :P

No macros this weekend Need go JB collect the 50mm f1.4. The idea of getting a K100D still lingers in my mind.

Maybe a K1D or a 645D nothing solid yet. With Pentax, there's more likely to be delay. But since K100D, Pentax has never fail to impress me on value for money
