I agree, I live near a film "institute" in NYC, and see the DSLR'S the scool is buying in bulk, Cannon 5, and 7"s, and now sony has taken over with a new range of small bread boxes, that are made for Motion Pictures. The Pentax D5 is a beautiful machine, trying to do to much. Maybe a stripped down D5 with a FF sensor, and sripped down capabilities. It could actualy use the apature ring, only. A large , bright mirror box, full manual compatability with the old M and A lenses, and no video. All the top controls can be like the LX, exept a winder. Keep the shake reduction, and focus assist, and a white balance button, point it at something white and press the button. Maybe have two white balance memories so you can go from room to room , or indoors to outdoors, and have the camera pre adjusted. Press the button twice for B and three times for C., or something as easy as that.
the other body could be built up from the bottom up, with a great video section, and manual use of lenses, among all the other bells and wistles. There could be two versions one with FF, the other unchanged. Everybody is happy.
