The only time pros "buy" these cameras is when their parts are used in
DSLRs. The #1 concern of muost pros is reliability, and no matter how
well mid range consumer cameras work they don't have a very solid feel,
and pros don't trust them. The EOS 3 and F100 are sold by their makers
as pro cameras, so it's no wonder that pros use them. If you spent a
couple of months using a F100 and N80, you would know why N80's aren't
used as backups to F100's. Backup bodies are: another F100, or the
photographers old, N90, F3 or FM2n.
Hardware still has very little to do with it. The Maxxum 9 was one of
the all time great camera flops. They sell for $800, new in the box,
never used on ebay. The Maxxum 9 was probably the biggest reason Pentax
never sold a contemporary film flagship.

Even EOS 30/33 and F80 has a pro-appeal, especially as 2nd bodies.
So, Pentax does not have to do a F5 or EOS 1.
