You can imagine, that every manufacturer will observe the decending sales of 35mm cameras very attentively. But there are enough markets, where you can earn money with 35mm cameras and digital cameras are simply to expensive to sell. >An again, what is the deal about the MZ-S Limited? I don't think, that Pentax will make the needed investments into the development of a new high-end SLR. I would rather expect a high-end DSLR. Maybe Photokina? Cheers, Heiko
