I am a bit late to be picking up on this as I don’t really follow Pentax news. This is only the USA price (obviously) but their big price reduction could make it the cheapest DSLR on the market.
Perhaps other brands will follow suit … in fact Canon is rumoured to be releasing a budget model …
As of this morning, Pentax is announcing a $200 price reduction on the 6.1MP *ist DL kit, bringing the formerly $799 kit featuring their 18-55mm DA lens down to $599, and making it the first DSLR kit to sell for less than $600.

Lower entry prices have got to be good for the DSLR market, bringing more consumers will enlarge the market bringing in economies of scale and competition and hopefully make all the kit more affordable for all of us.
