The same reason he also keeps ignoring the fact that even the $5.00-per-camera underestimate adds up to big numbers when spread over an actual production run. It isn't economically justifiable to spend that money to sell an extra 100 cameras to the lunatic fringe. And I'd much rather see Pentax spend that money on R&D and on some promotional efforts. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
