Roland, what I think Bruce is trying to say is you gave no indication of your sources. It appears to me that you are giving us a surmise based upon rumors you have heard, but for all we know you just made it all up, but then again maybe you are one of the Pentax digital engineers working on the project. What is the source of your facts?
