Yes, K-M and Sony were only meant to be "collaborating" - now Sony have eaten them! That's where Pentax and Samsung are now, just "collaborating". For the moment Pentax are still an independent company, but can't help wondering if the same will happen to them. I'm so concerned I might even go over to "the dark side"

Have you seen the "new" Samsung camera, a rebadged DS2 no less, it may be interesting to see if the new "Samsung" lenses will be compatible with the "old" Pentax cameras. Will also be interesting to see if Pentax/Samsung bring out something approaching the Nikon D200 spec, I just might be interested in a few years.
