Certainly not. Making a high-emd body for Pentax makes no sense at present as virtually no one would buy one. Sure, they could make a body somewhat higher than the *istD but thats about it at present. The only high-end Pentax have any hope to be a player is in digital MF. Pentax didn't even see the need to have a high-end 35mm film body after 1980. A high-end DSLR cost several magnitudes more to develop than, say, an LX replacement with much smaller sales. Very few first time Pentax DSLR buyers would buy a high-end DSLR. Hence, they need to have a DSLR customer base installed before higher end model are being released.
P�l Sounds like good logic. Pentax did anounce a 645d body with the Kodak 13.1mp chip coming out soon. I guess that would be their true pro camera. http://www.pentaximaging.com/footer/news_media_article?ArticleId=6458800 Mike
