Well, that's about what we're all looking for. I want a 5D spec body,
and I'll pay 5D money for it. Give me 12 megapixels, a fast buffer and
good write time. I don't expect to see full frame. But that kind of
camera doesn't replace the 645D, which is much higher spec. I keep
hearing people say that Pentax should be marketing a 35mm FF camera
with specs close to what the 645D is purported to support. That isn't
going to happen.

not to wait. when the high end Pentax body comes out, unless it is a
dog, i am going to get it and sell the *istD.

The K-mount digital bodies have been selling in quite reasonable
numbers. But Pentax hasn't had a pro following in 35mm for close to
40 years. There will be more advanced cameras, strong prosumer
entries. But I doubt there will ever be anything like a 1DS Mark II.
The market doesn't justify it. The D645 is a longshot too, but it
makes a bit more sense, given the Pentax history.
