Why not let third parties make sensor modules for Pentax? Works for the IT industry on so many levels. Forgot full spectrum sensors like I have on my drone.
Can't think of anything that would be more mind blowing or earth shattering... especially since the main complaint of camera users, besides service, is that they're being strung along by the big boys with incremental improvements that could have been done a long time ago or in one body.
Make one body, make lenses, make 3-4 sensor modules, then open it up to the community. Magic Lantern anyone???
And there would be others.
Thats another thing, Service. I've owned a very successful service business, its not that hard. And the manufacturers that I rep'ed for found repeat customers just based on my service. Not bragging, just stating a simple fact that doesn't seem to be covered in MBA school.
Note- I'm available for a job as an Imagineer for Pentax!
