The price in Norway is about 10% more than the K10D.
Otherwise it looks like a K10D with a new sensor and live view.

Nikon D300 is max ISO 3200, I believe. It appears like the shutter release is positioned more like my PZ-1p. Now if they'd put the top LCD behind the flash housing, and move the hot shoe to the right, and restore the built-in dual flash system, I'd be standing in line to get one.

I was RIGHT, Renato.
14.6 MP (CMOS)
SR
Resistant to rain, sand and dust
Double dust removal on image sensor
2.7" LCD
Live view
One-press raw
ISO 3200
Not bad. No information about fps and sensor technology.

You know, I think no matter what Pentax would have come out with, some folks would have been disappointed. I for one am happy to see some progress...I know folks are saying it is a K10D with a new sensor, but is that really so bad? The way I see it, I already have spare batteries, a battery grip, many lenses, many sd cards, external flash etc...I will be more than happy to take it...As for the price of it, if it is U.S $1200.00, where else can you get a 14.6 MP camera for that price?
Personally, I would rather have Pentax invest in more Lenses than bodies...

The k10D design concept is outstanding and should be continued and improved.

Sweeet, samsung beat pentax to the 20 series announcements.
Looks like the Pentax K20D will be a nice ijmprovement over k10D.
CMOS....CMOS....CMOS. This alone should allow for higher a far cleaner ISO imaging. Live view and video. I like video as I never bought a video camera, ever.
Does the press release say who the builder of the Samsung 14mp CMOS is?
1,200 euros is like $1,800 usa dollars. That'll be a deal killer for me, for that kinda of money I want a dslr from a company that has a vast array of brand new glass options above 135mm, autofocus teleconverters, manual focus screens, ect... two weeks till pentax releases msrp, yea!

Renato,
For comparison, what is the current Euro price of the K10D?
Benjamin Kanarek , Jan 09, 2008; 03:46 p.m.
There are differences in the Pentax spec...;-)

Lindy, international pricing isn't solely based on exchange rates. The guess that it will have a numerically similar USD price vs EUR or GBP isn't that far-fetched.
