It just occurred to me that the "*" symbol comes from aster (from Greek,
star), isk (characterized by a specified trait or quality). Perhaps *ist
D[igital] camera actually translates to "star quality digital" camera. Well,
perhaps it is "star quality", but it won't get the "star" parts if it
doesn't get the name recognition. The best recognition comes from product
placement. If the product placement works, the product used to create the
fame for the name doesn't actually have to make money. The brand itself is
recognized by more people, and recognized as synonymous with quality.

Thumbs up, Pentax!
Good for them! They'll earn money needed to create *istD successor for all
Pentax enthusiasts :-)
