I recall about 4 years ago, they were hoping an F5 killer would be introduced. They got the MZ-S. The pro end of the 35mm market is going digital. Pentax has no history of support to the pro 35mm user. Why anyone thinks they will introduce a digital K-Mount SLR is beyond me. I expect the best you can hope for is a non interchangeable lens SLR like the Olympus thingie. It is closer to the Pentax target market, which is anyone other than a working pro.
