I would like to see Pentax in the micro 4/3 arena. With a good image processing engine, good lenses, and a good design team all they lack is experience in building an EVF. And rather than creating a new niche mount, sensor, etc, they would be competing in an arena with established standards for mount and sensor. They probably couldn't compete on price or volume, but they could compete on quality.
