This is Pentax's problem at the moment I think.  They tried the twist of
full frame and that didn't work out for one reason or another.  In
addition, or possibly because of that, they missed the boat of Foveon -
whether it founders against an Iceberg or not we don't know at this
stage.  I am not sure what new twist Pentax could really come up with -
maybe this is why they are taking so long trying to come up with
something saleable.  Lets hope they find something...
