This is very true in "pre-DSLR" era, and I am sure they knew it. But I believe they are changing after the DSLR became reachable to average consumer, although they are still much slower than the other big brothers. > Announcments of future unspecified products in the 'distant' 12-month future > may be coming 12-months too late already. I thought I posted not too long ago that Pentax said they would release higher end DSLR one after another either from this fall or from the beginning of next year. In fact, I purchased an *istDs only a week ago but in my mind, it was a stop gap until Pentax come up with the "upgrades", and this time, I do believe they will indeed start feeding the mid to upper end market. But I still won't buy 20D or RebelXT with their associated lenses :-). I much prefer the Ds and compact yet excellent lenses. Just crossing the fingers, Cheers, Ken
