I think that even if a relatively economical sensor design such as the one found in the Pentax DSLRs were re-engineered sans-colour filters economies of scale would prevent it being a consumer item as such. Costs would be very high to produce the relatively limited numbers they would sell. It would be fun though of but of limited use and appeal. If they could pop one out at the current cost of the *ist D maybe they'd sell but that's not likely to happen is it :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
