Hi all,

just a question. The k800 has gone down to onpy £69.95 in a year and a bit. This time next year, will the k850 drop down like that? What price do you predict it will have? If there is an update like k810 to k800 it should be knocked down more quicker, but surely not as cheap as the k800?

My guess is that the market generally percieves the K850i to be a K800i with a better camera, but not as good as a 'proper' compact digi-cam. So long as there is a percieved difference in camera quality, then YES, I think the K850i will soon become heavily discounted.

K800 for under GBP70.00? Down here the K800 on run-out is approx GBP130.00
