So, who cares about the answers to your question?
If Pentax want to be a niche player, great! But their niche should be
advanced amateurs such as myself who are willing to pay for a steady stream
of "professional-grade" cameras, lenses and accessories. They shouldn't
waste their time (and mine; my dissatisfaction with their product strategy
has been voiced) with entry-level cameras that - in spite of build quality,
features, size and ergonomics - cannot compete with current offerings from
other companies based on marketing and brand recognition.
My experience with DSLRs is only a 20D of a friend. I don't like it,
really - it is too bulky and heavy, it doesn't fit well in my palm, it
is hard to make easy things etc. It is my impression of shooting 2-3
weeks with it.
There are 2 reasons for me not to switch in part to digital. I am
looking for well built and simple body - I do not need most of the
advanced feature: big buffers, 3 frames per second, 11 points of
autofocus etc. (on other side it is sad that they replaced the
pentaprism with pentamirror in *istDL). The second reason is that the
prices of current offerings are a little bit high for me. So, I am
expecting to see the price of the DL body when it hits the market...
