But Pentax top officials say in the PMA one or two days before that they won't do that again! Instead, they will make two totally new DSLRs to replace the K100D and the K10D, probably by July and Nov this year, respectively:

On a technical/marketing bias I would say yes they should and the new cameras should only improve on what they have right now. K100 v2 with a few customizable buttons and more settings to play with that if you wanted to venture forth you don't "have" to spend the extra cash on the K10 or it's succesor.

On the K10 to a v2 I would say a high end kit with a prime or * lens would be a good start. The next would be the option to make the images super sharp or super soft wether the operator chooses to and to increase the SR ability one more stop or two, which may be asking a lot, but it would kill the competition. An option for 2 or 3 user programmed modes and some programmable buttons that allow super on the fly changes like to choose different program lines and a ISO boost incase the lighting changes drastically you can one touch boost the ISO. On the talk of a new sensor I would say either go with what you have again or if it's going to be a different one it better be something very benefitial like a multi layered blah blah shabang because changes should be made only if it's going to be lasting and just upping the MPixels isn't that benefitial. Also something I would love to see is an option to choose what megapixel you want in RAW and only use a smaller portion of the sensor if possible to elimate certain high megapixel artifacts.

Oh well all a dream but I don't need change, but if it comes I'll be ready.
