Ingenuity, extra ruggedness, value for dollar, listening to customers,
Intuitively designed at the beginning of a system with backwards

Pentax in the K10D with ideology described above. Next, a higher level
camera available in a couple of months with even more pro spec features,
more than 12MP, metal body, less expensive than D300, etc.
As they say in other fonts (and sometimes in french):
/a þeim meiþi, er mangi veit, hvers hann af rótom renn./
