I hope your source is correct, I need a new camera very soon (my old Z1p is slowly dying). I also hope that Pentax for once could show their muscles and give us a camera comparable with the DSLR:s produced by Canon and Nikon.
/Joakim No, Pentax does not like official releases of information, even after the thing is in the hands of reviewers. However, the info came from a usually reliable source. His info on the istDs, that I posted here on the list at least a month before any official info, was right on target. He gave me the info about the spring release at the same time and had no details except it was to be a model above the istD. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Patrick Genovese wrote: > Was that mentioned offically anywhere ? > Patrick > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Look for a upscale model in the late spring.
