What you can't understand is
1) that there are not many people in the world that have reasons to buy many pentax products.
2) that pentax needs to give reasons wich means higher quality and/or better price than what's happening now
3) to do the 2 is an investment wich pentax didn't back when they could not produce the 6mp FF ( which was not due to high expences, but due to problems with the prototype itself i.e.sensor (look at the first FF)).
4) Read that now : Pentax is(or was) infront of taking a descision about who will(would) their customers (a descision many such companies take). What might surprise you is that this descision is not taken regarding YOU but is taken regarding on where the company can be competitive. I'd love if the company could compete canon and nikon but to do so they have to :
a)Raise the quality
b)sell at low prices so someone will begin to buy pentax products.
5) Do you really think that if the ef 70-200 f/2.8 l is ii (without any change at the quality) was cheaper canon would be destroyed? Ii think that an opinion of a person who would say what you say could be, in ron swanson's, "Capitalism : God's way of determining who is smart and who is poor"
HAHAHAHAHA

1)If the company was not going to be destroyed it would not become a ricoh company.
2)if thinks work the way were working so far, they won't earn the money the risk in beeing in the camera business demands.
3)Grow up
4)Don't say goodbyes to those who support your beloved camera company
5)the guy right above you said something about value for money you have not yet understood
6)It is a shame that profesional(wedings/ceremonis/...) photography cannot happen flawlessly without giving thousands of dollars and even then if we say that pentax does the job, you'll have to pray you'll get a good copy of the lens, or that the flash wont make 2 months (in the 12-month garanty) to come from the official pentax service. I had to buy a second 540fgz the last month cause of that.
whatever, it seems you won't think about it

I believe that :
1) Pentax/ricoh won't bring in an FF camera for at least a year since there is a long way to produce the camera and at least 2 zoom glasses for it.
2)The FF will defenately be oficially confirmed a long before of its debut at the retailer's shops. And i mean longer than usual.
3) An APS/C thus DA zoom lens will come out which will be intented to be something extraordinary (so pentaxians have something to hung on and ricoh has something new to sell) thus DA* .
Lets at least hope the new glass will be really good and not priced as an EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II.
A sigma price would be more convinient for a great lens by Pentax.
Have in mind that Pentax is not a very competitive company and needs to get on the map some way.
The BEST way is HIGHER QUALITY than others and REALLY low prices.
I personally will never again spend a dime for something that is not really better than what i have and is sold 10 times up from what i earn from it and it alone in a month.
when it comes to if i'll upgrade my primary zoom i really think that it is not worthy on going to 16-50* and i wish that i will cahange my mind when the new one takes its place.
Or eventually goodbye pentax . Eventually, the user of a dslr won't stay with pentax cause it won;t give him what others would (neither Uncoperable quality nor extra low prices nto even a fair balance between those). <-- And that's why i am the only profesional in a 250.000 person town who uses Pentax.
Think about it...

D-SLRs:
1) Pentax should bring out a body with
a) 12-16mp sensor who will produce great quality pictures
b) an as improved as can be AF-system (accuracy)
c) optional grip (wich won't be as expensive as past grips)
d) better iso performance at 800-3200 (especially at 800-1600)
e) an extremelly low price
f) the common features wich improve the image when is taken.
g) a decent image processor
Let this one have no super extra features as the current line-up. Let this one be just a great camera and nothing more.
Such a camera, if also solid, at 400 U.S.d. would definitely sell like no other Pentax/Sony/Olympus... dslrs before and like many nikons n canons.
As a pro photographer with many kinds of work (wedings, sports, events) I would take this one with me as 1st body in most of my jobs.
Remember the most of the photography most of the pros do around the world, does not need many things
Propable kits:
the classics a) 18-55 AL II (or III)
a.i) plus a 50-200
b) with a 18-135mm
the non-classics:
c) 17-70mm f/4
c.i) plus the grip with an extra baterry
d) the new DA* wich will be something at 16-85mm and eventually f/ <4
d.i) plus the grip with an extra battery
e) just the grip with an extra battery
Once again here, wise pricing would be the key.
2) A GREAT FF body wich will be THE best DSLR ever existed (at least for a couple of months) is an expense Pentax will have to do, eventually. This one can be priced as much as nikons n canons FF are and wether the company will make profit or not is not the issue here as every sensible human should understand.
3) A combination of 1 and 2 would be interesting. That is a low budget FF at 12-16mp etc...
Lenses:
1)RELIABILITY
2)D-FA's
2.1) Zomm D-FA's
............................................................................ To be continued...
