Not sure if Pentax has a suggestion box or not. I cant find one on their site. I called the local distributor, but they dont have a way to make suggestions back to head office?!?!
Anyways - I wish they would bring back remote assist or at least have the API available for 3rd party developers for the K7 to be tethered. It is a real pain to do studio work without it. A real pain.
I am currently using the HDMI as a stop gap measure, but it is far from the same solution I was using when I had a K20.
If I knew that tethering was not an option when I purchased the K7. I would have made the switch to Canon. Unfortunately I had used the K7 for a month for wild life work and was not in the studio. I am kicking myself that I did not check the K7 for tethering before I purchased it. I just made an assumption, that since the K20 had it, the k7 surely would. *arghh*
