Majority of people are choosing disposable cameras. I'm guessing they don't
have either USM or IS. Like I said before define your market. Pentax doesn't
need to provide a camera for everybody in the world. Canon doesn't have
anything in either MF or LF. Nikon nothing in MF. Pentax nothing in LF. They
provide what they think they can sell and make money at.
