From what some believe (though I don't) Pentax reads the list to get
ideas and see what's it present customers want. Well, then they
should have plenty to work with.
They'd be crazy to not read it.
They'd be even crazier to not be looking at what the competition is
doing and realizing that the goal posts just got moved again.
I'm pretty sure that if they could do a 5D, or even a Rebel XT right
now, they'd be doing it.
The polite thing to do is to tell em that a Pentax quality camera with
EOS 5D specs would be very nice thank you, and that there is a market
out there for a Pentax camera so specified.
That market is limited to a few Pentax enthuthiasts like us. Even with
a big $$ marketing/ad blitz, the obvious choice for a typical buyer for
this segment would choose the Canon, simply because it has many more
choices in both lenses, technology (IS), bodies, etc. And is the market
leader.
I would personally buy one, but then again, I'm not the typical buyer
either.
It is kinda rude to diss them for not doing it as fast as the monolith
camera corporation can do it.
