I think the possibility of a Sony takeover makes an upgrade more likely rather than less likely. If Sony wants the Pentax name, they probably want it for a prosumer line. They'll continue to use their own name on P&S. If they don't want the Pentax name, they won't buy the company. Changing the mount would be foolish. You're starting from scratch if you do that. In any case, I'm quite sure there will be a Pentax upgrade, merger or no. Even if the camera division fails to make money, it's a necessary adjunct to other Pentax business. Paul
