The posts you dredged back onto the list today, at least the ones which quoted me, were not a "strenuous defense of Pentax when 6Mpixel was all they had to offer". They were a response to your negative criticisms that Pentax only had 6Mpixel to offer, as in 'why bother with the K100D and K110D at all?' I've been saying since January at least that I was waiting for the next significant upgrade before buying a new body, and that I appreciated the added capabilities afforded by 10Mpixel images out of the Sony R1. When the K100D appeared, I thought it was a good incremental improvement and a good draw to new users, but not enough of a significant upgrade to the DS for my desires. I wanted the image stabilization AND more resolution AND a few other things to make my next body purchase significant. 10Mpixel is useful to me because I print mostly 11x14 to 13x19 inch sizes. If I printed mostly 4x6 to 8x12, it would be less of an advantage. 6Mpixel has made excellent prints in these sizes and will continue to, but the improvement in resolution makes a difference particularly for wide angle work and work with lots of fine detail in it ... a large percentage of my work is with 14-24mm focal lengths. > I understand the 2nd part, but not the first. Seems to me that you largely dismiss any comments on negativism and skepticism as irrelevant or wrong without listening to what is being said.
