God, I wish Pentax would make something in this category. How about a 6 meg
digital 28Ti sort of thing? You could have a very fast lens, say a 28/1.4,
if using a small sensor.

Ricoh played this niche well in film cameras, first with a highly regarded
GR1 28/2.8 point-and-shoot, than with the GT2, a 24/2.8. Konica, too, with
its nearly silent 35/2 Hexar. 

Who would have thought that Konica and Cosina would become a highly
respected name in rangefinders and RF lenses?

It will probably be harder for anyone to establish a niche in digital
cameras. The closest, to my mind, is Fuji's lead in CCD technology, allowing
Fuji digicams to shoot credibly at ISO 800 and 1600.
