Exactly ;-)


I just wish that everyone on this list shared one hundredth part of  
Toralf's optimism.

I don't mind the pessimism in general so much myself. What can get me a 
bit worked up, is the continuous assertion that Pentax will always be 
one step behind because they are a smaller company than some of their 
competitors, that Canon will always make the best cameras because they 
have more money to spend on R&D etc. I just don't think this is the 
case. In fact truly great products often come from more minor players, 
and the highest amount of latest- and-greatest features or the longest 
list of three-letter abbreviations, is not the same thing as making the 
highest-quality products.
