Let's put it this way. If you were a studio pro, and you could buy the Pentax for $7000, or you could buy a 6MP 24x36mm digital back, probably with the same chip, for your Hasselblad for $16000. Which would you buy?
I don't know, I don't understand, and I totally am at a lost to know why the fact that such an expensive camera won't sell to snapshooter's for hobby use makes everybody on the list think no one wants one. Either I am grossly stupid, or most of the people here are incapable of seeing beyond their own wallet. If you don't need it nobody needs it. A clear understanding of market dinamics, not! I said it before, GET REAL!
