Pentax was nth generations behind in digital compacts. Yet, their first solo effort, the Optio range, beats Canon's offering and has been a commercial success. So there is no point pushing out a product with no marketing potential. Nikon or Canon can sell anything at any price, but not Pentax. I, for one, think that they are wise in shelving the 6Mp MZ-D, as it would have been a financial disaster for a small company. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4-- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
