I don't think we should go too ballistic yet.  That article was very
hard to understand.  It is likely, however, that if Pentax makes a major
investment in digital, it will at least cut WAY back on film camera R&D.
 I suspect they will reduce the number of SLR models in production and
only make marginal upgrades for a while.  If they stick with K mount,
new lenses will apply to both, and if they us a half frame sensor then
we can expect some nifty new wide angles.  Another thread has hinted at
a new flagship; as I said there, it may be the last great Pentax film
SLR.
