That's why I'm upset that Pentax are coming out with a full-frame
sensor in their first digital K-mount camera. That's on the cutting
edge of technology, with costs to match. I want the D-1/D30 competitor,
but at a comparatively affordable price (ideally $2500 or less).

Try $4500 for a DX/2-66 with a mere 8Mb and twin 340Mb drives.
Nowadays it's almost impossible to spend $2500 on a single-user system.
