From messages posted here, it seems that many camera manufacturers
introduce new models at the big photo shows. When are the next big shows
at which Pentax may introduce new models? Are there any realistic dates,
or a timeframe, outside of these shows, that Pentax may introduce something?

With technology moving so quickly these days if you keep waiting for
something better you'll never buy it. Unless something better is
available overlapping the DS2 where you have to make a choice, or you
know *for sure* there will be an improved model in the very near future,
I'd say
PMA in February, I think. PMA and Photokina are the two primary new
product announcement poles of the year.

I think that the next camera will be a well-specified D2. I would guess
a spring announcement and fall availability. You might want to go with
a DS2 for at least the near future. You can always upgrade later or buy
the D2 as a second body.

My plans are, and probably won't deviated from, going with a DS2 (although,
if I found a new or very lightly used DS, I'd go for that as well if the
savings were great enough). Knowing that the PMA is in February means that
I ~might~ hold off on the planned January purchase of the camera until
Waiting for something better is your spin on what I asked, Paul. Maybe
my question wasn't well phrased ;-)) I just wanted to know when the big
shows and possible intro dates for new cameras might be. If there will be
a successor to the DS2, then perhaps waiting a bit for DS2 prices to drop
If I were a working pro or a committed amateur facing a significant
event or commitment, I'd pick up something to fill the need.
That not being the case, I'm content to fondle thoughts of what may be
eminent. I'm fairly secure in the belief that, considering the number
of 6mps Pentax has
