On a related note, I was in a Circuit City store (mainstream "big box" retailer, for those outside the U.S.) and as I passed the camera department I noticed a Pentax SLR beside the Nikon D50 and Canon Rebel. (I didn't stop to check what model Pentax it was but I'd guess the DL.) That's the first time I've seen Pentax at this kind of retailer but I expect with the arrival of the new K-series DSLR's it won't be the last. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
