A Major player?
Maybe so, but competition to Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Fuji etc....I don't think so!
Have you heard of the new FUJI with Nikon mount - high resolution, low price! Pentax
makes cameras for pro's allright: The 6x7 and the 645! BUt 35mm or digital? Don't you
honestly still believe they'll get to be be a major player there?
