I have to admit I'm happier with Pentax pushing the K-5 (with a $300 rebate until the end of the month, and advertisements on dpreview!) than paying for an enormous booth at a minor trade show. It looks as though Nikon didn't have a particularly big presence there, either. With both Nikon and Sony reportedly having some hiccups in the supply line because of the flooding in southeast Asia, this is a good time for Pentax to get their DSLR line into a few more households. That appears to be what they are trying to do. -- 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.
