There is no such thing as an average buyer of a $1250 camera. On the one hand are the pros and the enthusiasts, on the other the fashion victims and consumerists who just want another toy to take their fancy for 3 days. The reason why I (fitting in none of the categories above) care about backwards compatibility is my looking (way) into the future. But I am nothing to Pentax, and quite right so, since I will never have any money for them anymore (as I only buy used). Kostas
