Rob, Do I have to state the obvious? Of course we want Pentax (or any other manufacturer for that matter) to make a flagship product, that would never become obsolete, or, for really finicky, would be 100% upgradeable over internet for free (including body mods), switch between digital and film at will, change its size and weight (and color) to suite the owner tastes, accept every lens every manufacturer has ever produced... you get the picture. And, yes, on top of that, be *really* affordable and never loose its value. It's *that* simle! Have I missed anything?
