You just got me real excited there...
Prophoto is useless in-camera. If you want prophoto...shoot raw. Hell, if you know what prophoto is, odds are you arent shooting jpeg anyway.
5fps, higher flash sync (1/250 or so), maybe 12mp if the noise level is kept in check, are the main points on my wish list.
I think a 4 level DSLR lineup would be perfect:
100D series: make the successor smaller, aimed at beginners, or pancake lovers.
10D series: again, make the successor a little smaller, and not quite as feature laden, aimed at amateurs.
1D series: the pro-level APS-C. fast, big, built like a tank, you know this line means business. action shooters no longer have to think "big two," everyone else gets one badass camera.
645D series: the king of the castle, for serious landscape and studio shooters. Pentax's answer to full frame. please, please let it be weather sealed...
Lens-wise, a D FA 100-400 4.0-5.6 would be pretty sweet. Its probably not gonna happen, but a DA* 70/80-200 2.8 would also make me a happy camper, I'd much prefer that range (~100-300) than the 50-135. Pentax may be about primes and size, but they'd be that much more competitive with the big boys with a more extensive zoom lineup. New teleconverters would be nice, too...
When the DA/* lens roadmap is all in production, plus a couple more to fill in the remaining gaps, Pentax would certainly be well poised to be a serious threat to Nikon in the dSLR world. Ahh, one can dream...
While I'm at it, what about a RAW capable point n shoot?
Like I said, you got me all excited...
