Some people are a little cautious, I bet the same was said when Oly first brought out the E-10, didn't hurt sales in the end and I bet once the paranoid got wind of just how reliable and well designed it was they too bit the bullet. If Pentax does produce DSLR then they have no excuses whatsoever for not ensuring that it is flawless within its design specifications. They have a pretty good track record to this point in film cameras and now tens of competing products from their peers to scrutinize.
