True. But, just like Nikon, they'll need to public ally deny it for as long as possible or people will put off purchases of APS-C cameras while waiting for full-frame magic (fantasizing that full-frame is going to be possible at an APS-C price). I'd expect Pentax will get full-frame right around the time it's feasible at/under the $2000 USD price point. I can wait. -- 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.
