Didn't you read? It'll be *obsolete*! That's what'll be wrong with it. Seriously, there are a few ways you could look at that statement: It may be obsolete because there will be cameras with higher resolution/better CCDs around for less money than now. Or it may be obsolete because...I dunno...there will be more features available?
Personally, I find neither interpretation compelling. The camera, provided it still works, will provide the same performance and picture quality 5 years from now that it does today. Its usefulness is unrelated to the general state of the art. -----Original Message----- From: John Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19-Oct-03 19:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: *ist D makes me cringe (was Pentax 6x7 in the rain) > > if I had spent $1500 on a camera that will undoubtedly be obsolete in > less than a year. You reckon? What's going to obsolete it, then? And even if Pentax *do* come out with a new model (which I don't believe will happen) what's going to be wrong with the *ist-D?
