Didn't photojournalists used to buy big, fat Kodak DSLR's based on Nikon and Canon bodies for tens of thousands of dollars? Seems like prices only really dropped when Nikon put out the original D1 a couple of years ago. I got the $7K figure from price rumors related to the never-introduced Pentax full-frame digital SLR. BTW, no fair quoting prices for the Canon D60 and Nikon D100! They aren't even available yet! :-) --Mark - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
