eI don't care how good the damned things imaging capabilities are if no
one, (relatively speaking), buys it and Pentax Ricoh stops building K
mount cameras and lenses. Hasn't Pentax done that already, except the Q
is cute as a button. Except for WW I don't think any serious
photographer has bought one. Well no one else on this list anyway.

Just what the camera buying public wants a butt ugly interchangeable

(Can somebody remind me why I stick with Pentax again?)
Because they're a company willing to take risks on products that don't
just appeal to the lowest common denominator, and some of the things
they produce are cameras that appeal to you, even if they don't
necessarily appeal to Joe Sixpack?
As for myself, I don't much care what the camera looks like, I mostly
care what the pictures I get from it look like. I already have a
camera with a great viewfinder, what I don't have is a camera with a
good sensor and live view that works well. If the body works with my
lenses, has performance on a par with the K-5, and gives me good
functionality with live view (i.e. not two seconds of shutter lag
while it changes modes three times), I might actually be interested in
it.
If it's ugly, I hope I can just push that ugliness over the top and
get it in Hello Kitty pink.
