Re: Fwd: Re: Financal Condition of Pentax

[P. J. Alling]

It depends on the price.  The Mamiya ZD which I see as the most direct 
competitor is still not shipping, if the Pentax undersells with 
equivalent capability, and they get to market fast enough, they may sell 
enough of them.  On the other hand the Canon full frame 35mm DSLR's are 
a viable alternative to relatively low resolution MF DSLR's so Pentax 
will have to take them into account in their pricing as well.

I don't know.  It seems crazy to you, and I have to say it seems 
crazy  to me, too.  I am sure it would have been a good thing to 
have done  three or four years ago, but now it seems too late.


Whats crazy about making a camera with twize the size of the sensor 
as a  Canon and at a similar price (according to rumors)? It is also 
smaller  and lighter than the said Canon and the lenses are similar 
in size to  Canon L-lenses. Seems pretty amazing to me.


It's the timing that's crazy.  Three years ago it might have swept 
the  board.  Now, many MF users will have bought into FF Canon, or 
gone to  Hasselblad.
