What I don't see is the price (or the need for a lens that only goes to 38 but reaches 400-odd equivalent in a commodity camera). If they sell, fine, if they don't I am glad it's not a Pentax. > for or just don't want DSLR and they create brand image?

Sony make the sensors on Pentax and Nikon DSLRs; they certainly have something to do with photography now. And the lenses they both use are outsourced. So which bits of photographic equipment is it that Panasonic and Sony cannot do? > Wake up Pentax! It's just a shame :-( How many lines do you want/expect them to pursue at the same time? Keep working on the Baby-D and the FF DSLR while churning out innovative P&Ss, is what I say. Kostas
