Maybe I'm thick, but I just don't get it. Pentax have not released a high-end 
DSLR. Thats a fact. Pentax do claim that they will and business news article 
claims they'll release "one after another" starting next year. This is also a 
fact. Thats good enough for me. You may of course be a sceptic, thats fine by 
me. A higher-end DSLR is pretty obvious if Pentax wants to be a player in this 
field. They do indeed claim that DSLR's will be their main business in the 
camera division, something that smeels like pretty good news for Pentax slr 
owners.  
I just hope that the high-end models will offer more than simply *istD's with 
more megapixel. If you were around at the time they released the *istD, you'll 
see that I was very dissapointed by it. I predicted it would not sell that well 
(was I right?). And that it was too much of a "me too" in spite of its class 
leading size and weight. I still think Pentax need to do better particularly in 
the design; something that caughts ones attention and induce lust of ownership. 
I don't think I've been incosistent in my arguments...
