Huh? I think it says the opposite. Make something more like what the competition have. Nobody have a $7000 full frame digital slr so Pentax doesn't bother either. The Contax is apparently a disaster anyway. > Expect a radical new body with redesigned lenses to match. Huh? I think it says that they will used the basic platform of the shelved 6Mp digital slr. > Don't expect it any time soon. I believe it's says that they will make sure that it is put to the market at a time when it is competitive as opposed to a 6mp slr that cost three times as much as other 6mp slr. This could mean anytime. > Don't expect it to be up to professional standards. I don't think what the consumer wants means no professional standards. It means something that sell because it is competitive. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
