They've never promised DFA lenses in short focal lengths, only in the
300 to 600 range. I just don't see them introducing a camera that can't
use the new DA* lenses at the same time the DA* lenses go on sale. That
would be marketing suicide.

I'd love to see sort of an E-400 made by Pentax to that purpose. I mean
Yes. SSM compatibility for the 100 and 110 makes a lot of sense. It complements
the DA* lens intro. You can bet that there won't be an incompatible
small-format DSLR introduced for many a moon -- if ever.

Take your choice. I expect that they'll release promise and release the
lenses they need to fill in the line and you'll be happy.

I'd be happy with three if someone would offer a decent rig with a
monochrome sensor. By decent, I mean SLR-like shutter lag times, a
prime lens or a narrow zoom, and intuitive manual controls. Basically
something that the marketroids would never-ever dream of producing.

To go to a larger sensor would cause a huge price increase. That's why
we're happy here :-). Canon still sells the 8 megapixel 30D for more than
their 10 megapixel consumer model, and they sell a lot of them

I expect that's no longer quite true. If it is, then there won't be any

Personally, I'm not too upset that the 645D is on hold for a little while.
Regular dSLRs are much more profitable, and Pentax seems to be on a roll right
now. Plus, if what they say
will be
in the market for a camera that's likely $5k or more?
It doesn't make sense to produce something that will not generate a net
profit.

I see no confusion here. Pentax sees DSLRs as K mount cameras and the
645D as something else.

If the rumours of the next canon being 22MP are accurate (or even
close), that would explain the delay. Infinite delay might be the
best course
This will
almost certainly necissitate a lower crop factor. More likely ~1.3x
than full-frame, though.
I've been expecting something like this for some time. If they intend
it to be anything other than marketing hype that is.

It would obviously have to be an image circle that worked with the
current DA lenses. The FAs are almost all out of production and new
DAs are being introduced all the time. They won't introduce a camera
that has no lens support.

Well, for me, I am not waiting on the 645D and have doubts about it's
viability in the market. If they were choosing to delay it in favor
of more work on DSLR's more like what has recently been done, then I
think that is a good direction. It will be interesting to hear
something from PMA.

So for Pentax DSLRs means DSLR with sensor smaller then one in 645D or
something like that? AFAIK a 645D is technicaly, a DSLR no?
Mmm maybe they will announce a K1000D? Would make sense ... I really
think they will go K1000D before K1D but I'd also love to be surprised
