Or it can mean that Pentax is a few years behind its competitors (Canon, Nikon, etc.) This camera does not know more then some of the top digital ones of the past two years. (unless you are a Pentax fanatic like many of us or own many Pentax lenses that you want to reutilize, hence did not go for the competitor's model) I will not go digital before 8-10 megapixels and 1 to 1 field of view crop... (and even then I will probably wait until the price becomes half way decent, which probably means another model coming out) (and of course it would have to be a Pentax) But I really don't thik that the price of K and M series machines or the LX took a nosedive though...
