I seriously doubt we will see a $3000+ Pentax, especially one that goes after the 35 mm market. I think we'll see 24x36 sensors when the price drops below $2000.

I don't think Pentax would stop development of APS sized CCD cameras. There could be probably FF cameras, but they would be simple high-end DSLRs. It would rather be like that: 1. sub 1000$ baby-D with APS sized CCD 2. *istD (and/or its successor) ~1300$ 3. papa-D with 11 or more MPix CCD costing 3000$ or higher Now guess which size of CCD would be more popular??? I guess #1 and #2 would sell in quantities of 10 or more times than #3. That's reality. -- Best Regards Sylwek
