I'm not just talking about the useability or quality of a photo. I'm also
speculating regarding how future Pentax products will affect their image in
the marketplace.
Lot's of people by the less expensive BMW's and Mercedes, not necessarially
because they are a better vehicle. It's the association with the high-end
product that sells the lower-end products in many cases.
A flagship or top of the line camera makes one or two implicit statements...
either 'This is the BEST we can do'... or 'This is the BEST we are willing
to do'.

Ah, you see, you are stuck with the variables that one can put numbers to.
How about "noise". "Moire". "User Interface". "Viewfinder quality".
A picture is a picture. Sure, if you take is with a 2MP disposable camera
it won't work at 8x10. But if you have been working with 35mm and 6MP,
APS-C, *ist-x pictures match it, the rest are bragging rights for people
with infinitely deep pockets.
Flagship my ersa, this is photography we are talking about, not the Royal
Navy. A camera either works for *you* or it doesn't.
