umm are you saying pentax should stick with current "one model" DSLR strategy and never offer a range of DSLR with different specs and features? I say if they continue to do that they will be out of business in no time and ALL pentax lenses not just half of them will become "obsolete". jco

Anyone (with enough money) GET TO BUY a 1Ds mkII. The only difference is that some of you insist on having the "Pentax" trademark on it. I stick to Pentax because I think compact, good primes with large aperture are more important to my photography than full frame, many pixels and pictures per second. If I though anything else I'd have another trademark on them. I just don't see why you make such a fuzz about it. If you could afford the 1Ds mkII (or Pentax equivalent) an extra lens or two wouldn't make much of a price difference... DagT > fra: "J. C.
