The comments are just counter to the suggestions that it's already a runaway success and that Pentax will now be in the black big time, badly handled it could potentially do more harm than good to their reputation and bottom line. I'm crossing my fingers that they have a handle on things production wise. The distributors in Oz certainly don't really appear to know much about the camera or accessories or what's going on WRT the user base so I'm pretty certain we will have supply problems here. Of course I'm happy to be lambasted if proven incorrect later too, that's just a part of making personal predictions public but being shot down before being proven wrong or right isn't fair. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
