Pentax's current "flagship" - MZ-S - is, even by those on this list, considered a failure.
I think the MZ-S has come a little too late, just like many Pentax products in the past. If it had been released 2 years earlier, it might receive a much better welcome. Timing is critical, but Pentax don't seem to get it. They also failed to emphasis the built quality of the MZ-S in their ads (if there is any), but wrongly emphasized its features which don't draw attention. Not that it lacks seriously, but don't look good on paper when compared to C/M/N. It reminds me the P50/P5 which was soon disappeared from the market due to AF technology, only that we are talking about digital now (much worse situation). Adding the USM/AFS & IS/VR issues, Pentax has been living in the shadow for the last 12 years.
