The major thing it has going for it is 40MP... as always size trumps all. It's a borderline fringe product. Price is almost right. Sensor size and resolution are right. AF performance, can't say. Lens compatibility is good. The question is, will it sell in the volume it needs to be profitable,

I agree with that figure. Given that it's about 1/2 of the MSRP, how much profit is left? If Pentax had come out with a 24MP FF 135mm body at $2500 USD, with a much larger potential market and user base, and a larger future upgrade potential, which makes more sense? On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 10:28
