$1000.00 and $2000.00 is an entry level product. A Pentax 67 at B&H goes for a little
more than $2000.00 and a Pentax 645N II is a little less than $1900.00 the next most expensive
Film camera sold by Pentax is the MZ-S which sells for $800.00. These cameras
are hardly entry level. Neither is the *ist D. The class of cameras it is in,
(digital SRLs based on 35mm bodies), is used mainly by professionals. I must
therefor conclude it is not an entry level product and draw my conclusions from
that.

This is pure speculation without data points. The limitations is so far only on entry level products.
