I don't know anything about foreign market, but in Poland the Dynaxx 7 is very well. One can buy it for about $675, while prices of the MZ-S don't go below $925. In addition, Polish Pentax dealers suck... I know a guy, who wanted to buy a new, advanced camera. He went to the first presentation of the MZ-S in Poland and after listening to the presenter, decided to buy the EOS33... >No, it doesn't mean retirement.

Actually, I must agree with your explanation - Pentax SHOULD HAVE done it before. That's what I meant by upgrading the Z-1p and supporting it with a large and proper marketing campaign... But perhaps a camera of modular construction, that would allow its users to switch between digital and film backs, viewfinders, boosters, data backs etc, would restore Pentax presence in the "professional" segment of the market. Gee - you all really dislike the word "professional". I cannot understand it, but anyway... Greetz Artur - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
