I don't know if you still have your "inside contact" but for the rest of use the information flow is limited, interrupted, confusing and yes they may provide information before release but what's the value in that when the products are far behind the rest of the market? > I just don't get the recent fad where high ISO performance is the holy grail > of photography.

I suspect what people interested in low light shooting are saying, me included is that we will be quite disappointed if the performance of the previous bodies eclipses the new K10D. Given that I regularly make use of the ISO3200 settings on my DSLR and that any form of SR won't really assist me with the type of photos I typically shoot I know I already have to contend with a maximum effective ISO1600. So if the noise is worse I may be up to to stops worse off, hence the discussions. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
