I have to reply on this one. I have no doubt at all that Pentax will produce a low end digital The only question is when it will come out. This is THE market. The *ist D was needed first for reputation and trial technology reasons, but they will make much more money on the low end camera, Canon or not. After all, Pentax produces cheap film SLRs to compete with the Rebel, and that's a lot more of a losing battle than the DSLR market.

IOW, I agree with Bill. Steven Desjardins ---------------- Yeah, I don't think there is any profit to Pentax in producing a Baby D. Not really. No point in competing with C****, they wouldn't capture much of the potential 300D market. And they've already dropped the *istD to be more competitively priced for a mid to upper end DSLR. More optios, sure. And maybe a second generation *istD... someday. Or a MF equivalent. Be nicer if they did one or both of those anyway. Marnie aka Doe
