It has nothing to do with liking. The sales of such cameras from Nikon and Canon are slumping due to digital. If Pentax haven't made a high-speed transport film based camera before now, it makes little sense doing so now when the market is changing. Lets face it, Pentax haven't released a 5fps camera in 22 years. >Some say all we need to do is to take digital video footage to get that shot. > >What utter crap or balony..

Perhaps but digital is right now dominating sports photography and taking shares into nature photography as well. >Why if this is the case does Pentax continously bring out new ametuer >bodies if those >theories on digital are correct??
