Pentax is missing a 6-8 MP gun shaped pro-sumer DSLR with a fixed zoom lens. Most other brands offer such a camera (Nikon, Minolta, Olympus etc.). This seems to me to be the right step for Pentax, who will not really compete on high end/pro DSRL market, which requires a whole new camera/lens line up (like Olympus E-1). I'm actually suprised Pentax didn't make this instead of the *ist D. But I guess maybe they targeted the *ist D at the many owners of 35mm Pentax lenses. My bet is that's what we'll se from Pentax at Photokina. I don't really believe in a new full frame 8-14MP Pentax DSLR - it appears to be years too late.
A DMZ-S would still be nice, though. Or they could buy a camera body from someone else (Epson, HP?) and concentrate on what they are really good at - lens making and reseach/developing (I recall someone said Pentax owns patents for IS-tecnology).

It's so exciting, I can't wait to see what kinds of new features Pentax will be introducing in their upcoming cameras. In camera image stabilization would be fantastic. Imagine, IS while using a 40 year old screw mount lens! I feel giddy. -Shawn -----Original Message----- From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Photokina rumour mill has started... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dario Bonazza" Subject: Re: Photokina rumour mill has started... > My info supports Steve's opinion.
