If they've screwed themselves over by poor marketing, sluggish reaction to the market place, the MZ-D debacle, and a general lacksadasical approach for years, then unfortunately they deserve the natural consequences. If they had been 'onboard' at the same time as Nikon and Canon I might be more inclined to jump on the upgrade bandwagon, assuming there's a bandwagon to jump on. Personally I perceived the *ist DS as a stupid move (as I did the MZ-S and the non-digital *ist), a desperate attempt to compete with the bigger 2, while apparently ignoring the desires of their customers desiring an upgrade path. I know basic economics and capitalism enter into the picture, but still it leaves me wondering about the future.

Pentax depends on a lot of people wanting something that they are selling right now to stay in business.

I don't *want* anything Herb. I'd be overjoyed if Pentax came out with a new higher model DLSR. I probably wouldn't automatically run out and buy it though if it was only several MP higher than the existing model.
