It really doesn't matter. If Pentax get out an affordable DSLR with the promise of better coverage and higher resolution in later versions it'll still be a coup. Kodak and Nikon offerings are high-end. If Pentax can target the mid-range SLR buyer with affordable second hand lenses for a DSLR, they could be onto a winner. Think of an advertising campaign: "Remember the Spotmatic camera you bought when you were in Vietnam? You know those lenses you've had for thirty years? They'll fit your *new* Pentax Digital." Or: "We had the first SLR. The first AF lens. Now the first affordable DLSR which will use all your lenses you bought for our other cameras." dave -- dave o'brien - http://www.diaspoir.net Each man is his own prisoner, in solitary confinement for life. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
