I'm really not convinced. I've worked for a company (Apollo computer) that poured a significant sum of R&D money into developing a flagship; money that was never recovered from sales of the high-end model. Meanwhile the competition (Sun) cleaned up selling mod-range systems. I personally would like to see something a little above the K20D, but from a bottom-line perspective I'm not sure that anybody except Nikon and Canon can afford to develop really high-end systems (even if you accept the questionable proposition that having the top-of-the-line model really does increase sales of the entry-level bodies; I don't think the person who buys a D50, say, cares about the D3, as long as there is a D300 to aspire to). -- 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.
