This is a prime example of Pentax missing the boat. I would have gladly
purchased him an *ist D derivative if I felt secure in the 'Pentax future'
Ya'll,
I just don't understand this "Future" Concept.
Would you not buy a toaster because GE doesn't exhibit grand plans to
release a line of newer more featured toasters?
How about a car? I mean, the Civic from Honda has been around for ever and
been getting better all the time, evolving into some thing completely
different from where they started. When the 07 cars come out with two more
airbags, better vehicle control systems, sat/nav, and a better cup holder,
do you guys just assume the 06 model is "obsolete" and not worthy of any
consideration on it's own merits?
Me, I bought the *ist D because it looked like a killer camera for my use.
That hasn't changed. Are there things I'd like to change? Hell Yes. If I
was buying another DSLR anytime in the next decade, I'd like for Pentax to
have addressed these issues. But heck, unless this one craps out and I can
sell my dogs for WAY more than they're worth...I'm not in the market for
another camera.
So what does it matter to me whether the *ds-lmno is better or worse or even
in performance?
And while we're at it...Can somebody please tell me why the hell I should
care if they run my card as a debit or credit transaction? It's all coming
out of the same account..I don't get it.
