Here's something to consider about Pentax' conservative approach to DSLRs.
Being a smaller competitor, it's necessary to be certain that each product
released is profitable. Also, with a new series of products it's important to
hit the curve when it's definitely on the uphill side, when profitabil

Probably different reasoning, but this reminds of the HP3000
line of minicomputers, which were derided at the time for
being ten years behind, technologically. HP said, "So what?

6 MP is simply good enough for a large number of folks. Sure, the price
of higher MP chips will come down, but 6 MP will be cheaper and DSLR
prices have a long way to fall to compete with film. This a the 35 vs.
MF argument resurrected. The biggest problem with 6 MP is the wide
angle problem.
Were the Kodak Photo CDs you used to get back when requested recorded
with a proprietary format, but they're offering jpegs now? Don't know,
but I'll bet someone here has the info...
There are 2 CDs from Kodak. PhotoCD is the high quality 4000dpi scans while
PictureCD is low quality format.

Huh? Isn't the wide angle "problem" caused by the size of the sensor?
Per se, not even that. The

What would be the solution ? Exaggerated retrofocus design ? How about
sharpness and distortion ? Oh, wait, never mind. You Fix It Late
