Whether DSLR cameras have been about for 6 months or 6 years, Pentax have not produced one as yet. I don't know anyone on the board of Pentax, so who knows if one will appear now or ever? In this respect, some people here who wish to explore DSLR technology, have had some pretty tough decisions to make, if they wish to try digital now. I respect their views, and how hard it must be for them to move away from a base of cameras that they have enjoyed for many years; and of course the financial change if you have invested heavily in K-mount glass. I wish them well. Malcolm
