They're not really cameras anymore. They're optical computers. We think of 
the LX as a camera circa 1980. We should think of the latest crop of digital 
cameras as circa 10:30 AM.

Have to say it:

Look at the K10D. :-) While I appreciate the low price, it's got to be
hard to make money on a body that depreciates by 50% in one year.  It
makes me wonder if they are still in the production line.  Some of the
stores selling at $999 would probably have to lose money selling at
$699.  I saw an *ist D online yesterday for $1299!

In fact at $699 - $100 rebate, I'd expect the K10D to outsell the K100's.
