Interesting. But still no viewfinder. I hate composing on the LCD. My carry-around at the moment is my son's broken Pentax 750Z. He dropped it and the very flimsy knob on top popped off - broken at it's plastic mounting points. We got it used from eBay, so no sweat, I repaired it. Except that it's stuck on Auto-everything :-) So I got him an A10 instead and I carry the 750Z as a snapcam, lives in my PowerBook bag (slim insert from LowePro Stealth backpack). I love the fold-out screen (like the Canon G2, but with much less bulk), and the fact you can fold the screen to protect the LCD (as it bumps about anywhere - it gets treated like a hellcam ;-) but it's agonizingly slow in shutter response but WTF. It works (just). The Mrs' birthday is tomorrow and she's got an Optio S6 - so we have more Pentax cameras in this house than anything else! I guess that assures my presence here.... Come on Pentax, stuff all this DSLR nonesense - give me a neat little digital rangefinder that takes Limiteds! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
