IMHO for a high end digital SLR camera to sell in sufficient quantities to be viable, you have to crack the PJ market. This is where this type of camera is most used and useful. And, this is where Nikon and Canon rule.
As digital SLR camera's become more mainstream and start to replace 35 mm, the market might be right for Pentax to enter... but at this time I think they should concentrate on the P&S market where Pentax does extremely well. Their present Optio 330 and upcoming Optio 430 are good examples. Cheers, Mike. Chaso DeChaso wrote: >Wasn't there a time when Pentax actually cared about >being a leader?
