a Pentax body that can't focus on a moving object while a Canon or Nikon
body can is solely technology.
having worked for 10 years in industrial research generating patents, i am
quite familiar with what patents can be used for. i see no evidence that
Pentax got any of those uses.

Patents are often used for trade, as long as you contribute to the common
patent pool you are allowed used some of the others. If you have an
important patent in the competitors field you can get what you want from
him. That is an important part of the technology and patent game, and
that's why you cant predict a companys future products from their patents.
I thought people on Wall St knew that .-)
Anyway. I bought the *istD with many of the same thoughts that you did,
but I dont agree with you in that the content of the images depend on the
technology. In my view the lack of content is just more evident when the
technology is better.
