they have to take their chances on one or two products at most. the DSLR
with the most potential total profit is the one designed for people who
bought the *istD. it will cost a lot less to make than the 645D and sell
more units with nearly as high profit margin.

Pentax has to be conservative. They have limited resources and can't
afford to make a mistake. They can't develop 10 products hoping one will
make them a lot of money and recoup the costs of the other 9.
The 645D was a bit of a gamble for them. I hope it works out and they make
a ton of money on it.
