So? Even the ist-DS is different enough that it requires a different RAW converter. >I would think that Pentax will stay the course with CCD. I wonder where >John Francis stands on this? I have it on good authority that Pentax is going CMOS eventually. Count on it. (That's not a big revelation: It's common knowledge in the industry that everyone is going that way for cost reasons) I expect the next DSLR will be the one that makes the move. I was actually quite surprised that the DS was CCD rather than CMOS but I expect they used as much of the original ist-D as possible in order to shorten the design cycle. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
