I doubt Sigma has such a SR system since both SR systems should work together if not they will both try to reduce the same movement by the same amount over compensating the reduction.
For the shutter, what about a Kerr cell shutter? link
never mind 50% light loss

With the world of technology changing so fast and new products comming onto the market, it seems every six months or so. Can I ask the question what would forum members realy like to see in the next Pentax Digital slr camera.Would it be full frame or better noise at high iso or may be a better extended warranty. Any way think it over and I look forward to reading your opinions.
Best wishes, Ian

Size/weight is not an issue with me,as I find my K20D OK.
Although Carbon Fibre and Magnesium might be the way to go for chassis and body.
Swivel out/and round LCD screen would be rather nice GPS may be but not a must.
As for a decent Neoprene neck strap,Chris(SRS) and myself have been trying to get the elusive Pentax Sport Strap with detachable clips,to no avail, and I think that there is little chance of Pentax ever offering a decent neck strap!
I think an Optech strap is the solution!
Why not a survey of owners, initiated by Pentax?
Best way to get some really good customer feedback, and it could prove to be really useful when a new model gets to the drawing board!

K7 sized body
Much faster AF
Better high ISO
Quieter shutter!
Faster flash sync
And while we're thinking wishful thoughts:
Articulated screen
A massive viewfinder like a film camera

Maybe one of theses? linkQuieter shutter!
I don't think these shutters are that expensive my they can couple it with a normal shutter. The gain is not so much for APS-C size shutters but for the 645D there is quite a bit to gain.

So has the KR ticked the boxes for you or do you still think Pentax has missed something. Could you be looking for something a lot better from the K5.

I'm happy with my K20D (although whenever I use my LX I marvel at the size of the image in the viewfinder).
What I'd really like, as I have said before, is a tilt shift lens for the APS-C sensor so it would have to be about 17 or 18mm. If I could afford it I'd get the Canon version and a body to mount it on but I don't have a spare £4000 or so...

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

But in body SR can also counteract tilt like in the K7, something in lens SR can never do.
But have their advantages, maybe a combination would be the best option.
did'nt Sigma say that you can have the SR switched on on the body and the lens for their new 70-300 lens?
I will believe it when I see it, but if they are right, maybe that would help (i have my doubts....)
