Heck, if Pentax made a 10MP camera the size of the ist-D or DS I'd be quite interested. How about a rangefinder body for k-mount lenses? The image-plane-to-lens-mount distance would make the body quite deep and it would be silly with most lenses, but with the pancake Limiteds... cool. I second

Seriously (and I am capable of that) I agree with you. You can screw up with a fancy camera just as easily as simple one. Analogously, if you can get good shots on the fancy one you can still do it on the simple one. If you always do better with the fancy one, then that just bodes ill for the
