The point is the brand of camera has nothing to do with Kenneth Waller -----Original Message----- From: Tom C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Sent My Brother to the Dark Side >From: "William Robb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >The polite thing to do is to tell em that a Pentax quality camera with EOS >5D specs would be very nice thank you, and that there is a market out there >for a Pentax camera so specified. > >It is kinda rude to diss them for not doing it as fast as the monolith >camera corporation can do it. I'm sorry Bill. I'm just not getting where you're coming from tonight. :( I should not have to tell Pentax a thing. As you said they should read the market. I'm not being rude. I've waited 1.75 years so far and watched. I was tempted to buy an *ist D (or DL or DS) along with a lens for my brother. I'd have LOVED to do that. If Pentax would have come out with something that was an upgrade to the *ist D in that time, I might have felt differently. If they had a $1500 body out there that was competitive, I'd have spent a time and a half what I spent. Not being sure that I'll buy another Pentax lens though (based on whether I'll buy another Pentax body and whether they go FF), I didn't want to steer my brother down a path that I was not willing to go. Let's face it. We all like/love our Pentax gear and it does a very good job. However, the vast majority of mind-blowingly beautiful photography we all see on a daily basis is not taken with Pentax. Some is, but the point is the Pentax brand has nothing to do with. Most of us, including myself, don't make our living with our cameras (I know I didn't need to say this to you especially). But, those that do, generally use the most versatile and available tools at their disposal. And for serious hobbyists, much of the same applies... I tend to think.
