Basically, the manager said that Pentax will stop chasing MPs (yay!), isn't interested in EVF for now (cites that the pentaprism in the K20D can be favorably compared to any EVF today - I agree), and to go full frame, appropriate lenses need to be built first before considering a move to another sensor format (which a lot of you guys have already pointed out in arguments before).
What's curious about the interview is that when asked about medium-format, the manager says that 'their “priorities are clearly on products that address a broader audience”, adding that “as a comparatively small manufacturer, we have to allocate our resources according to business priorities”'. The blog entry hypothesizes that "effectively means that the development of a digital medium-format Pentax model has been put on the back burner for the time being" (direct quotes from article).
It seems that Pentax Germany has never been told of the 645D being revived in Japan, though in fairness, if that MF camera will never be sold outside Japan, no use in letting the marketers know about it.
As always, best to wait it out and see what Hoya does eventually, but I'm all for improving other aspects of the sensor than MP count. And since this comes from a marketing manager's point of view, there's a good chance the engineers will work on other stuff than cramming more MP in the sensor. We all know how marketing tends to have their say in product development.
I hope this quells the clamor of those who still think Pentax will suddenly unveil an FF DSLR in the short term. I hear and understand you, but it's just not happening in the near future.
