DPreview is not my cup of tea, otherwise I won't frequent this forum :)
Honestly, their K10D preview is very flawed. Phil's review consists of pixel analyzing. That's OK as long as you also remember how a photograph is supposed to be viewed....... Phil don't. As for the details, I don't want to drag on as it has been discussed to death before.
Not really. The camera cannot run your own software; and Pentax does not know your own preference. Pentax's desgin philosophy is to give you the best source image to work with, so that you select your choice of photo editors, raw conversion, sharpening techniques, noise reduction plugin.... etc. Once the image is over sharpened, there is no turning back, the damage is done. On the other hand, K10D's JPEG output is very post-processing friendly; and it gives you the chance to process it exactly how you want it.

Well, K10D performs exactly as how Pentax engineers designed it to be. So I am not sure what "improvement" you are looking for.
What you want is a change in Pentax design philosophy and direction. And I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad. K10D is designed for people who wants to do their own PP, and not having the camera doing it for them.
People who demands an improvement basically is asking for a Nkon or Canon simulation mode to simulate their type of output. It's not a problem for Pentax, they did it for K100D. But that's why K10D is different, and why Pentax is different.
I don't want a Canon or Nikon clone. And I don't want them to change their design philosophy.

Maybe a new camera series, but not K1D. At PMA, they have not even decided on the feature set of the high end model, let alone having a prototype or market ready product soon.
