Hi William ..hmmm! I'm not gonna pick this one up! But: It's pobably too much to hope for that some other company will make a digital body for K-mount. I mean - Kodak made a great camera (the DCS 14n) for Nikon lenses. It would be great if capitalism became liberal (?!), that the manufacturers could agree on a common lens mount! Like VHS tapes, cassette tapes, film cassets, CD-ROM players, car tires, roof tiles etc., etc... Well, when Canon and Nikon finally beats them all, they'll probably all be making cheep lenses for C* & N* mount which will eventually merge?
BTW: P�l has a point. Pentax has for decades been in front, making SLR's with considerable consumer appeal: Lightweight, small, flash on board, as well as a lot built in P&S features. THe Z1 and Z1-p even have a "green mode" for P$S'ers (the latter was custumiseable, though)!

If you agree with P�l, it's about consumer needs. If you disagree, it's whining. William Robb
