Because the market is demanding more popular-priced digital cameras, PENTAX has decided to postpone indefinitely the six-megapixel SLR project shown at PMA and to redirect our resources toward developing more new consumer-level products, which are receiving widespread popular support in the marketplace.

So what may we glean from all this: Forget a DSLR based on anything the opposition has. Expect a radical new body with redesigned lenses to match. Don't expect it any time soon. Don't expect it to be up to professional standards. Frankly, not what I wanted to hear.
