No. It is just that Pentax has no advantage as long as they don't affer something different than the rest. If you need new lenses anyway in order to take advantage of the DSLR, why buy Pentax in the first place with their quite rotten product continuity and support? In fact some Pentax users wait out the *ist D and when they see it they buy a Canon. My personal stance on this is that Pentax won't automatically get my DSLR business as can't see that the *ist D have any perticular advantages over the competition. Perhaps that was not the plan either; maybe just a K-mount slr. If I have to by not full circle lenses anyway I can't see why it must be Pentax. I will judge all the competition when the time comes and choose what suits me the best. So far it doesn't seem to be Pentax although things might change. P�l
