I like SLRs, now DSLRs. I don't want to give up the mirror + optical viewfinder for an electronic viewfinder or arms-length live view. If by some remote chance you are right for a change, I will be in the market for another K-5 and will probably save many dollars compared to buying a full-frame. I also will not eat my hat - one PDMLer sacrifice of the haberdashery type is sufficient - but I will buy you a beer the next time our paths cross. stan -- 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.
