Bill, you have summed up my Pentax experience perfectly. Actually I think they get exposure right 80% of the time as well. I haven't followed Photokina closely, but with players like Sony announcing a FF compact (granted not for everybody or me) and another FF body, while Pentax announces another Q, a 645D lens that only 645D owners will possibly purchase, two bodies that are more of the same, and of all things a $7000 DA lens for their APS-C bodies, I just have to wonder. I can already see flocks of Pentax APS-C camera owners getting in line for that lens, can't you? Pentax is like a really good mom & pop burger joint. They may make burgers that taste reasonably great and for a decent price. But until they start serving Prime Rib and Filet Mignon at a high yet palatable price, they'll only attract burger buyers. And unless they sell BILLIONS/TRILLIONS (for Bob S.) they'll always be struggling to make a respectable profit, which correlates to their ability to bring out really top-tier products. (opinion) I've grown tired of faffing around with them.
