I'm pretty sure I will. But what's the point of your last post?
Not saying you, but why do some seem to put this on the same plane as
religious denomination?
Even if I purchase another system in the future, the Pentax would stay in
the family until it's no longer functional. And then I've got the 67 which
I'll either use voraciously or not be able to buy film for or get readily
available processing (in the selection I wish).

It sounds like you've already decided where to put your money, so get on
with it. Obviously no one here is going to change your mind. Pentax
obviously can't produce new models at a pace that will satisfy you. You've
made that clear. Move on.

Paul,
My comments are with regard to Pentax as a brand in general, what they are
offering, and where they are going, in comparison with the market
competition. Did I ever say that 'Pentax produces a product that gives
inferior results', or name a Pentax camera and state it produces bad
results? Never have those words left my mouth or my fingertips.
I sincerely don't think there's any bashing going on. Yes, I am unhappy
with Pentax because they are so slow to bring new offerings to market, and
offerings that are on a par with their competition (spec-wise) in a
time-frame that actually allows them to compete. I'm unhappy because they
seem to want to play the low-end and very high-end of the market (assuming
there's a 645D that's too expensive to justify).
The slowness, in general, does not bode well in today's market place.
I'm not evaluating any particular model of camera. I'm looking at it from
a 'deciding where to put future money' standpoint.

Hmmm. In all fairness your negative comments are confined largely to
cameras you don't own or use. That's more like bashing than valid
evaluation. But bash on. I find it all somewhat amusing.
