Today Pentax Italy said that they expect the first batch of K10D coming around mid-November. The last time I checked (10 days ago) thay said early November. So it appears there's some delay after all. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pd

I think Pentax wants to see us squirm and salivate while holding our money out in wild eyed anticipation. IOW, if we had wings, they'd pull them off. 8-0 [,^) Jack --- Joseph Tainter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > by late November Pentax will have over 30,000 camera sitting in > warehouses, >

The delay is due to despair and hand wringing over the appearance of moire on some crappy monitors as well as marketers agonizing over the lack of an aperture simulator and the resulting loss of sales to luddites. The sky is most assuredly falling.:-)) Paul On Oct 21, 2006, at 1:58 PM, Joseph
