Something I believe is realistic as their digital PS are competitive and Optio S is
going to be huge succes.

Canon and Nikon have already started doing it (Canon's digital-only lenses
are expected at this PMA or in Japan). One of the MAJOR advantages of
digital is that you can get high

There are certainly a lot of us who'll be royally p*ist off if our huge
investment in glass (including my 15mm f/3.5) is made obsolete or
irrelevant; that is, if we have to have two different lenses to serve
the same purpose on a DSLR and a film SLR. Not everyone is going to
*abandon* film
I agree. Cutting edge stuff like the EOS 1Ds at $8k is for Canon (and
maybe not Nikon). Pentax will do better 1 or 2 years behind the curve
after these sensors have come down in price. People for whom the EOS
1Ds is a serious option (in terms of price and timing) should really
switch to Canon

Yes. There's no sense in trying to compete at the bleeding edge.

Thats a long time for a corporation to be a failure and still be in
business.
Pentax have been bleeding edge in everything they have done except 35mm slr's where
they havent been bleeding edge for 20 years. This has sent
Whether your selling film cameras, digital cameras or toasters it's
still the same game of selling. It's always played the same way: you
pick your product, you pick your market, set up shop and then try to out
sell everyone else.

Digital is a totally different ballgame anyway.
Where they're trying (not sure they'll succeed)
Throwing away compatibility to a really huge extent, like building
small-image-circle lenses for the DSLR, would *really* go against Pentax
history. I'm feeling more confident they won't do something that dumb.
Mark,
I really beg to differ. This would not be dumb at all, it would be SMART.
