Pentax's official revenue forecasts show that it will make money over the
next three years, but the imaging products division will lose about the same
amount of money in the next three years as they lost this year. sounds like
a winning strategy to me. then you have the financial analysts who don't
believe Pentax and think they won't even make those targets because it's
playing at the wrong end of the profit margin curve.

5. Developing cost for the 645D is probably not astronomical. It uses the
chassis and finder of the current 645's long ago paid for. Based on the
interface and the AF selector pad on the back it almost certainly use
*istD electronics and SAFOX VIII AF system, also paid for long ago. Leica
must get the revenue back from a single product while Pentax use building
blocks from lots of products.
