Tom, as I have said before, a steady diet of printing for others has convinced me that megapixels are worthless as a baseline quality measurement once you get up above five. Please, if you have experience to the contrary, share it.
As to why they would discontinue the DL in favour of the K110D, the new camera is both better and shares common parts with the other new camera. Why, given these facts would they keep th DL in production? And why would they drop a DL equivalent from the line when it makes money for them? -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: "Tom C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Re: K110D - Why bother? Date: Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:23 pm Size: 1K To: pdml@pdml.net I'm stating that Pentax having released, what, 4 different 6MP DLSR's in the last 3 years, why release another (2, one with Anti-shake and one w/o)? It seems like they are repeating the P&S approach they were abandoning and positioning themselves at the bottom of the market (at least perception-wise). Who can contend that a higher pixel count is not the way the industry has been moving and that all other things being equal, that MP is the baseline measure of potential image quality? Tom C.
