Re: Ten new cameras to be announced!!!!
Dear all, There are more follow-up news coverage on yesterday's Pentax press conference. The first one is from Nikkei News Agency: http://www.nikkei.co.jp/news/sangyo/20030204AT1D0405504022003.html It mentioned that Pentax is going to set up a factory in China for manufacturing digital cameras. Pentax expect a total digital camera sales value of 50 billion yen (US$400million) for 2003 and will put in 8 billion yen (US$70million)for digital camera R&D.

Re: Ten new cameras to be announced!!!!
This is wonderful news! I left Henry's previous message appended, as this message is a continuation and elaboration of that message. Just when we thought Pentax was going to abandon us, right?

RE: Ten new cameras to be announced!!!!
Just ran it through babelfish and it doesn't really say anything new apart from reiterating the 10 new models stuff. The only bit which could be interesting is for the Optio S: "In addition as for MCM, we have assumed it actualized the release time lag of approximately 0.01 seconds, shortened also starting time" Does this mean a fast startup and short shutter lag? That 'cut in half' pucture is REALLY cool! > -Original Message- > From: Pål Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 04 February 2003 12:35 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Ten new cameras to be announced > > > Can someone please translate this? > > Pål > > > - Original Message - > From: "Iren & Henry Chu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 11:31 AM > Subject: Re: Ten new cameras to be announced > > > > More details on the Pentax press conference today including > photos of > > a > > Optio S cutting into halves, the future plans of Pentax and > photos of the > > President of Pentax: > > > > http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/0204/pentax.htm > > > > Regards, > > > > Henry Chu > > 4/2/2003 > > > > _ > > The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* > > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > > > >
