USM and IS are not only for pro's. But speaking of pro's, I have seen many
pro's with EOS 3 and F100. They're lighter and capable of producing
professional results. Even EOS 30/33 and F80 has a pro-appeal, especially as
2nd bodies. So, Pentax does not have to do a F5 or EOS 1.
Best wishes,
Roland

Pentax abandoned this segment so long ago that no one thinks of Pentax when
they look for high end/high tech cameras. It would take years of work (that
Pentax was never willing to do) to change the perception of the brand. Most
people who are fans of taking pictures, rather than camera brands, have
bought the technology they want/need from whoever is selling it. I have no
idea why people think that a company 1/10 the size of Canon would have the
same R&D budget as Canon. (R&D isn't just paper patents: it real, tangible,
physical products you can buy.)
