IMO, sure to be disputed, I believe Pentax abandoned us long ago, by not
staying competitive in the eyes of the marketplace, by not ensuring product
was available for purchase as advertised, by concentrating on 'stripped
down' versions of the same camera over and over again instead of being
progressive.
waaaahhhh!
I can eat a couple CF's or microdrives, though I would prefer them over SD.
Lens compatibility issues makes them no better/no worse than other mfrs.
There are quite a number of 3rd party products out there that are not
available in PK-mount. I'm not saying I want any/many of them. I just know
that more is available to users of other brands. To me it's an indicator of
either how third party suppliers feel about Pentax, or how they feel about
the kind of customers Pentax attracts.

"If USM is included it means that it won't AF on older bodies."
It is worrisome that Pentax might abandon its many users who have bought
autofocus lenses. Part of me believes that they won't. The other part of me
is still feeling outraged that Pentax abandoned those of us who bought the
D and spent a lot on CF cards.
