Decisions decisions

So, we've settled on Pentax, now which one to get.

 

The Km  is a bit underpowered, the bottom end consumer model.

The Kx is nice, The K7 is VERY nice but too darn expensive at $1100+.

Lets look at the previous models, now all of 18 months 'old'

The were the K2000, K200 and K20D in about the same order.  The K20D is the 'Pro-sumer' model and started out life around $1400 body only.  Now they're fetching like$600-700. Hmmm, K7 features for half price.  Sign me the heck up.

Here's the K20, a bit smaller than it's competition.

LOTS of buttons and dials, S. is going to be pleased.
Cool review at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/PentaxK20D/  who are, frankly the best camera review site out there.
Now to find one. I've bid on like six of them on eBay. They either go for WAY too much (the manufacturer is selling old stock for $800) or I'm not available when the auction closes. Drat.
Found one on Craigslist with a BUNCH of accessories. We'll see how that goes.
