I too think that was a red herring. I suspect that Phillips wants more for the 6MP CCD than Pemtax is willing to pay. When you can buy a 5MP camera for less that $2KUS, you aren't going to sell many 6MP cameras for $7KUS. If Phillips drops the price on the 6MP CCD, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the MZ-D (perhaps with a label) is on the schedule again. I'd pay $2KUS for a nice 5MP Pentax digital body. I think there's a market for one.

I also commented on this in the thread >"OT: DOF and format size". I think the word should be "speculated" rather than reported or commented. There have been no official reports of this "problem" and I for one believe it's a complete red herring. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
