Some improvements to the K10D/etc. system I would like to see:
1. A useful battery level indicator. (Not just "full"-"nearly empty"-"oops, flat.")
2. Change the cheap "knocky" buttons on the right-hand side to the quieter ones like on the left.
3. Do away with the D-pad. Use a stubby, recessed analogue stick instead.
4. An instant white balance button. (I'm amazed it's not there already.)
5. Make the dust reduction silent, and work better.
6. New battery grip with thicker base grip (more like the Sony A700 one) and multi-function inserts for Li-ion / AA cells / wireless / accessories etc. (make it more worth forking out the money for!)
7. More cross-type AF sensors, quicker AF motor.
8. Chunkier front and back dials (More like Nikon ones.)
Most of those seem like inexpensive improvements. Not much to ask, really... :3
I wouldn't want a new model in this range to become too expensive.
It would be nice to see a full-frame Pentax DSLR realeased, simply because it would have a proper-size viewfinder. I find it much harder to manual-focus and generally see much fine detail in an APS-C sized viewfinder, especially as I wear spectacles and the diopter adjustment is useless for my bad "myopic macro" eyes.
And don't get me started about 4/3 cameras - their VFs are unbearably small!
Does anyone know if the Pentax viewfinder loupe is any good for spectacle users?
