>So what is that Pentax announced a forthcoming DSLR 2 1/2 years ago. We are not talking about a delay of a few weeks here, but a few years.
>William Robb And none of us are getting any younger either. For me, about my own decision to wait about a year, sometimes I wonder if I will die (heart attack, get hit by a truck) before I get a DSLR. For the interim I got a 2mp digital P&S for shooting stuff for ebay. Sort of fun. But tiny with lots of functions. Sort of confusing too. Feels like a tinker toy, although the images (for what they are) appear okay. But I may rethink this DSLR thing. Having second thoughts about various aspects of it -- resolution and break down/bug potential, storage problems, etc. OTOH, if I do wait about a year, there should be more DSLR offerings at lower prices and maybe more improvements. (I am not basing my initial somewhat negative reactions on the 2mp part, more on my experience as a computer programmer.) Marnie aka Doe :-)
