My dream Pentax DSLR? - Inbody IS, or better useable ISO. - Weather proof body. - Faster/better AF. - Customable Fn buttons. - Upgradeable buffer. - Better resolution, with same/better noise. FF or APS or a new format.
The ergonomics of the Ds, with two wheels. AA batteries. My main concern is machinery I know I can trust for at least 10 years. In other words, a light weight tank. I also like the idea of an inbody ND filter like feature. Something that adjusts the sensitivity from parts of the sensor.
