Interesting point. When I wanted to buy a DSLR and before Pentax had one out, I had to decide between Canon and Nikon. I very nearly went for Nikon - for the simple reason that I will always try and support the underdog (keep in mind there was no offering from Pentax at all, so it was not a case of Pentax being the underdog at that time, it was a case of Pentax not playing the game). The thing that swayed me above all was an upgrade path to a full frame sensor, and so I went with Canon. If Nikon had had a full frame sensor at that point, I would have bought Nikon, no problem. Not that I would have been able to afford a full-frame camera at that point, but I reasoned that a few years down the road, the tech would have improved and the price would have dropped. Now, a few years later, and I would hope to pick up a full frame body in a year or so. Whenever I see these pics, it really goes gets under my skin. <http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/prototypes/MZ-D.html> C'est la vie, uh? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
