Yes, attracting new buyers is critical. The other day I was in Best Buy picking up a USB cable or some such and walked through their camera display. I found myself thinking how everything in there looked the same and that the new K-S1 would really stand out. The old farts that populate the PDML might not like it, but that's beside the point in the wider world. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
