Some speculation enabling for you all... Does anyone have any Pentax New Year's Predictions? Folks with insider info such as Paal are encouraged to weigh in! Of course, I also solicit wild speculation.
My predictions are: No new limiteds in 2002. Some kind of medium-to-big glass will come out. Obviously, the MZ-6 will be released. I'm guessing that a non-full-frame digital will be released just before the end of 2002. Also, I'm guessing we'll see one additional entry-level body after the MZ-6 to replace I guess the ZX-30; the line-up will then be MZ-S, MZ-6, MZ-whatever. They'll keep the ZX-5n around for a while longer and eventually (not in the coming year) update it with something upgraded from the new MZ-6, calling it MZ-2 or something. I expect by the end of the year to hear a bit more talk about a forthcoming 35mm flagship "to take to one's grave," but I don't expect it until perhaps the end of 2003. No predictions at all for medium format. None of this has any basis in fact or direct knowledge - it's purely speculation and of dubious value. -RSW _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
