more than a few business people have suggested that Pentax's only way to
make the imaging products division profitable is to abandon the consumer
camera market entirely or to market only to a niche with much less
competition, i.e. medium format. in either case, if these people's
suggestions get acted on, there won't be any P&S and 35mm-type bodies
anymore, film or digital.

If high model turnover is a problem, then making a MedF digital may make
the
best signal effect of dedication to serious digital with the least R&D
effort.
I bet Pentax will be careful not to repeat the mistakes that Mamiya has
made
with their introduction. They've been through that already with the MZ-D.
