I don't think that an high-end SLR can help gaining market shares there. Those markets will take P&S and cheap SLRs. If you could sell more expensive products there, than you would probably sell digital cameras there, too. Further more - Pentax already has "its" high-end SLR: the MZ-S and I can't imagine that it has ever helped selling other Pentax cameras. I don't think that Pentax could earn any money with a newer or even more expensive analogue SLR. But that's only my opinion - we'll have to wait and see ;-) Cheers, Heiko
