Please, may this be true!
A new, TTL flash metering system would be most welcome (along with really IMPROVED autofocus performance, the top priority, IMHO). My K10D underexposes quite a lot in P-TTL, while my K-7 overexposes by a large margin (especially with bounced flash). Can't have a decent flash exposure without dialing a flash EV compensation of +1 (K10D) or -1.5 (K-7).
A flash system improvement in the spirit of Nikon's i-TTL metering would be awesome.
I always said it. The best camera in the world would have Pentax's optics, weather sealing and ergonomics, Canon's sensors, A/D converters and AF speed & accuracy and Nikon's flash & ambient light metering and 3D AF tracking!
Add the K-x's (and probably K-r's too) noise handling at high ISO and a few rebranded or reegineered lenses from Canon (EF 135mm F/2 L, EF 70-200mm F/4 IS L and EF 70-200mm F/2.8 IS L) and Nikon (AF-S 24mm F/1.4 G, AF-S 14-24mm F/2.8 G), and you get'd the best camera system ever!
