Build the Q7 in the style of the original Q with a weather sealed metal body, add a long telephoto and a macro lens to the lineup, make the 06 Zoom better, more like the 02 construction, allow more things to be assigned to the front dial, and I think it will will sell. The problem was the original Q was too expensive for a new camera. Now we have had it for a few years, its obvious some people would buy it for the looks, for the nice feel and obvious quality build, the small size and ease of carrying around, some for the flexability, and to use with long lenses. In short for a variety of reasons. Most of these people are not THAT worried about the small sensor, or have modified their shooting habits to work around it. The problem is that now Pentax have improved the sensor slightly, but have taken away pretty much everyting else that made the original so interesting to so many people. So they just ended up with an expensive P&S. So they were selling a concept, as much as a camera and may have overlooked that. I say now that it has made a name for itself, go back to the original formula, but not quite so expensive. :)
