The goal is simple:

To convince Pentax that there is a highly demand from the Pentax users side to have full control over the video recording settings in the top-notch products K-7 and K-x.
Since the K-x hits the market at a very good price level for an entry DSLR, it is becoming more and more interesting to amateur movie makers, especially due to the technical characteristics of a Video-DSLR (shallow DOF, superb quality, exchangeable lenses, you name it).

Pentax, please give us the following possibilites:
- support for (at least) 24p on the K-7
- full control over ISO gain (range or fixed ISO)
- full control over shutter speed
