Some new Pentax proprietary technology, not found on any other DSLR at any price, may also be unveil with this new DSLR. I believe the new DSLR will have an introductory price of around $1,200 to $1,500. It would be foolish to think that the camera will have all of the bells and whistles of an $8,000 DSLR. I was privileged enough to see the specification sheet of the new DSLR as well as a picture of it. I signed an NDA agreement with Pentax to keep everything strictly confidential and I will respect that. [...] Some of the readers are trying to "read between the lines" and draw early conclusions, but don't torture yourselves, it's going to be the best Pentax DSLR thus far, and you only have to wait about one Month or so . </big quote> -- 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.
