who says they are grabbing market share? selling as many as they can make
isn't the same as selling as many as they ought to make. film SLR sales are
dropping faster than expected for all manufacturers. film sales is dropping
faster than expected too. i don't think there will be a medium format market
left in 5 years, with the possible exception of Hasselblad, and i think that
is a remote chance. a company with limited resources can't take too many
risks, and spending a lot of money on the 645D in a rapidly shrinking market
is doing that.

So the current Pentax approach - grab market share while you can, and
worry about upgrades for that customer base later - seems sensible.
