Hi Bruce, on 04 Mar 03 you wrote in pentax.list:

Why should the *istD necessarily be cheaper than the Canon in order to sell well? If you say that the price is the primary reason to decide between Pentax and Canon then one could also argue that the Pentax may not be cheaper than the Canon because "cheaper" is often connected with "worser" and "lower quality/performance". I assume that both will sell around 1400 +/-100 US$. The DSLR market is an oligopolistic market. There is no real price competition as the demand exceeds the offer. Cheers, Heiko
