Not really, first the current camera is hardly functionally obsolete.
Second I doubt anyone is going to be able to tell the difference between
a 6mp and an 8mp image. Linear magnification is the important spec and
that has to double to be a really meaningful improvement (that is 4x
megapixels, for the math impaired).
I find it interesting how many people make a decision based upon
features they never have used, and probably would not use if they had
them. But they look sooooooo good on that spec sheet. Me, I don't care
how much sizzle that ad has, I want the steak to taste good; but others
seem to like the taste of paper.

There seems to be an ongoing defense of Pentax in regards to them
being a smaller firm, not being able to get the sensors, etc. Well
when comparing camera brands, models available, and deciding on
purchases, isn't this a relevant factor?

I guess my question is how the heck do other manufacturers manage to
sell one
camera that's higher spec'd than a *ist D if that's all anyone
actually needs?
I don't think anyone would argue with you on that one Rob.
I guess my question is who is making APS-C or larger sensors in the
10-12 mp range that Pentax can buy from?
