Let's hope the Pentax 645D is a trifle less expensive that that. I expect it will be, but more than around $4000 and it's well out of my league, for the present anyway. I saw the Leica M8 and their version of the Panasonic L1 (can't recall the name offhand .. digi lux 3 maybe?). I continue to be impressed with the SLR although i don't see the benefit from buying the red dot as opposed to the Panasonic. It's a well thought out camera. Nice stuff. That support system looks neat. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
