It was stated by Pentax president at the *istD press conference that they intend to make a pro DSLR whatever that means. Oh and it was in context of 35mm; not medium format. Remember that Pentax have a significant share and tradition in high-resolution "imaging" through their medium format involvement. Hence, making a "pro" DSLR fit in this tradition. Besides, Pentax needs high-end credibility because the competition has. I don't think anyone can achieve 20% market share without a full and complete slr line-up. Remember Pentax wants to more than double their curent market share. For this they cannot stick to the formula used the last 15 or so years. P�l
