Always a wise idea with any brand. That way frustration and disappointment surely lie... and even when something
is announced, it won't satisfy everyone's personal priorities.

Ah. Doubly wise not to get excited about
that. I'd hope for an incremental update, on the basis that it will
certainly be that at the very least, but
possibly - just
possibly - much more. Setting cautious and reasonable expectations is likely to minimise potential disappointment.

Yep. We're all fortunate these days to have cameras that are so capable, most amateur photographers (and a good number of professionals) don't fully utilise their capabilities. Best to focus on what we have now, as you suggest.

With respect, negative comments like that - readable by not just the PentaxForums community, but anyone searching the web and considering buying Pentax - certainly don't help the brand. The more folks hint at impending doom, the more likely it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy
