I remember when Kodak was selling one megapixel cameras in Nikon and Canon bodies for $20,000. Now you can get 6 megapixels for under a grand. There will always be something better around the corner but the fact is that we have already met/surpassed 35mm so at this point it becomes more of a status symbol than a real improvement. I wish they would spend more time working on making better 4 way controllers, more accurate auto flash exposure, and better placed CF card doors.

However I am also concerned from a business and practicality standpoint about value for the dollar. Pentax has provided a very good value in the past. Canon and Nikon typically have higher costs from what I've seen in the past. But for someone like myself trying to work their way into professional work it's a tough decision when you know that editors are accepting files from a 6 MP camera now, but may well up the requirement to 8 or more in the near future especially with Canon's release of the EOS20D. Canon's moves to target the consumer, prosumer, as well as professional markets make them very attractive right now. > -----Original Message----- > From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 8:03 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: 7 mega pixels > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin Waterson" > Subject: 7 mega pixels > > > > People like me need to make > > business decisions based on emerging technology. > > Then buy a Canon. > Pentax long ago lost any claim to being on the forfront of emerging > technology. > OTOH, if all you want to do is make nice pictures, they are a good > choice. > > William Robb > >
