I doubt that I will buy a 645D. I think the K10 will meet my needs. I've found that I can please all of my clients with *istD images. That list includes a number of well respected publications and a range of stock buyers. I'm a little fussier than some of them, so I would prefer a slight upgrade in resolution and noise control for my own aesthetic needs, but I think I'll get that with the K10. I don't have a problem with lenses. The DA 12-24 is excellent on the wide end, and I'm well covered with my old lenses the rest of the way up. If I was sitting on an A 15/3.5, I would move it and replace it with the DA 12-24, but that's just me. There's no reason to believe that technological advances won't make the small sensor a good format for the long run. The objections to the contrary seem to be based on old technology and preconceived notions. Paul On Aug 22, 2006, at 9:30 PM, Digital Image Studio wrote:
