Pentax please pay attention:
Yes. - It would be nice to think that somewhere in Tokyo, in a tiny office at the Pentax HQ, some Westernised, tendy young things, in designer ripped jeans and T-shirts with random and meaningless western slogans on them, (so beloved of Asian youth), were furiously transcribing my recent moans about Pentax compacts and logging my pleas for a EVIL.
Probably not happening tho'. They probably develop and design their products on the basis of what some Paul Smith suited, goaty bearded, pony tailed Twat in an image and branding consultancy tells them. Probably the same one to which they paid millions of Yen, to come up with the name *ist, for a camera range.

What Don needs is to know where to make contact - a few phone calls might help.
I'm sure Pentax do have a bunch of Westernised trendy young things in their offices. Unfortunately they're probably all on Facebook or coming up with ideas for user-customisable compacts in a range of candy colours.

But Pentax' problem is they have a LONG list of things they need to put to the market before they can even think about the oughts. Personally, I believe the primary point of their to do-list is to come up with a cinsistent business strategy and start communicating this to us.

Pentax have come a long way along a consistent path, no doubt as fast as financial backing would allow.
But do we have a right to be informed about what they intend next? I don't think so, although I guess their competitors would be very pleased to know!

Samsung has introduced the SH100 Wi-Fi enabled digital camera allowing users connect to wireless networks for sharing images and videos. The camera also allows users to pair up with compatible smartphones to enable geo-tagging, control the camera remotely or preview the scene.
Samsung got this right... I may have mentioned once or thrice that I want these features in my "Dream" Pentax d-slr....
