Pretty much. These things are often "controlled releases" of information. They know full well the info will get onto lists like this in hours. Once they tell a couple of people who don't actually work for Pentax, it is only a matter of time, and not usually very much time until it is spread worldwide. But they must maintain the illusion of control and an official release date. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
