As a sidetrack to "all the competition has"...: The "pentax way" since MZ-5 has been to create sturdy, basic, compact SLRs. With easy controls. How would Pentax implement that line of thinking in a D? And btw, what's the user interface like on Nikon & Canon D series?

I think it says the opposite. Make something more like what the competition have. Nobody have a $7000 full frame digital slr so Pentax doesn't bother either.
