The Contax camera is only arriving now, in March. It was supposed to be on the market last November, and now it's also going to be a really tough sell (even for Zeiss fans with deep pockets) when compared to 6Mp cameras from the Japanese (Pentax excluded, naturally :-( ).
Personally, I think Pentax were right not to proceed with the MZ-D as specified. Sure, it would have been nice to have the camera, but wouldn't we be here complaining that it cost four times as much as the Canon D-60 if Pentax had gone ahead with it...? That said, I won't be looking at digital until I can get a full-frame one, and that's always going to be expensive (in IC production, the physical size of the device is the biggest cost, not the number of transistors or sensors or whatever on it). Okay, I might be tempted to settle for a 1.2x multiplier if the price was right, but that's still a way off.. When's Photokina? -- Kristian On Tuesday, February 26, 2002, at 06:53 am, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > And your point is? > > ryan brooks wrote: >> >> And the 6mp Contax full-frame is real: >> >> http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02022505contaxndigitalinhand.asp > >>> The Pentax ad above the Sigma photos is kinda cute ... >>> >>> http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02022503sigmasd9shots.asp > > -- > Shel Belinkoff > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ > You can't have everything.
