It sure looks nice, but it falls well outside my "inexpensive" requirement. I basically want the digital equivalent of a Canonet. It doesn't appear to exist. And if it did it would probably cost at least as much as the DP2. Grr. This really sucks. I just want something simple that I can pull up to my eye and then throw the photos out on the web when I get home. But all I see is chimp-approved plastic junk with smile recognition. WTF happened to cameras? Am I the only person in the whole wide world that doesn't want a zillion worthless features at the expense of something functional? -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
