I don't know, personally I'm not convinced that chasing the "latest and
greatest" and focusing on higher numbers (in various specs) or a longer
list of features, is generally a good way to make products.
if you are Nikon or Canon and your market is professional journalists and
such-like then it is the only way to make products, because if they don't
make them someone else will and they will end up as also-rans.
That may well be, but does that really make them better products? Which
is, quite frankly, all I care about. I mean, I'm somewhat selfishly
interested in Pentax only if they build cameras *I* want to use, and I'd
rather see them go out of business trying to do that, than survive by
creating uninteresting products that collect cheap marketing points.

Pentax had a big slice of that market once.

As such, I
rather like what Pentax appears to be trying to do today, i.e. make
robust, simple and usable cameras built around the "right" technology
or technology that has perhaps matured a bit, as opposed to what's most
"advanced". If anything, I'd like to see them trimming down the feature
list even more and go further in the direction of keeping things
simple...
