Pentax have just released a new DSLR a K200D .There is a Samsung version very similar( they are the same company now) at a cost reduction of about $200.
The K 200D has a cmos chip. The thing to remember "just_add" is that whatever you purchase it will be out of date within 18 months. But this is only by manufacturers hype. Your camera will still be taking great pictures until it goes faulty for whatever reason.
If you keep waiting long enough you probably will never make a purchase because of the prolific numbers of updated DSLR's
I hope this helps. Brian
