They're getting (or will soon be getting) around $4500, IIRC. That's not Pentax's playing field. I won't be basing any future purchasing decisions on megapixel count. Nor, I suspect, will most Pentax customers. I'm sure there will be an increase (to at least 12MP), but I rarely find even 10MP a problem. I'm much more interested in low noise at higher speeds. I don't really care how that is achieved, either - I certainly wouldn't pay a premium for a "FF" body greater than the cost of, say, the 12-24 DA zoom. I'm more interested in frame rate and buffer size, which are in some way antithetical to higher pixel counts. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
