I agree. Cutting edge stuff like the EOS 1Ds at $8k is for Canon (and maybe not Nikon). Pentax will do better 1 or 2 years behind the curve after these sensors have come down in price. People for whom the EOS 1Ds is a serious option (in terms of price and timing) should really switch to Canon becuase Pentax will never make them happy
"I seriously doubt that Pentax could go head to head with Canon in their chosen market - it doesn't even appear that Nikon can compete. Canon is moving too fast. But at the same time, it is really big bucks to be in their market. You need to be a working pro to be able to justify the cost. Pentax is very smart to come out with a feature laden DSLR who's greatest features are small size and price - something for the rest of us. Like Mike, I would welcome some smaller, designed for digital lenses to match this camera and would probably pick one or more up over time."
