The LX was a very special camera when launched and had many innovations.. Anything that aspires to its cult status will need to have similar qualities.
It would need to be a class leading camera in many many ways... eg. 1/500 flash sync Max shutter speed 1/8000 Wide iso range 50 - 3200 True 16 bit output Even better SR Even Faster AF at least 5fps Dual card slots ( 2 x SD/SDHC ) built in wireless transfer It would be nice if Pentax made an pocket device that automatically downloads your shots while you shoot does an integrity check to verity the tranfer is 100% successful and gives you the option to delete the shots. Magnesium Alloy body (a la MZ-S) and bult to withstand severe punishment. If they can somehow perform a packaging miracle it should also be small (K10D size would be ok) and lightweight. That would be a real head turner in the same way the LX was in its time. The only down side is that I probably won't be able to afford it unless they pull another rabbit out of a hat and price it in the same way they priced the K10D. At least for now the K10D is just right for me. All I need is my dealer to call and tell me that I can pick mine up.
