With a rapid shift to digital, makers are finding both restrictions and freedom in camera/lens design. There is even a rumour of Canon changing the mount (again!). More realistic anticipation is Oly coming up with mirrorless body with live view etc. Not that I personally want to see any particular (and dramatic) change, makers seem to be struggling to get out of spellbound legacy 35mm film SLR format which they really do not have to follow any more. People like Oly are apparently seeing this an opportunity to get ahead of competition. Some time ago, I posted a hearsay from a camera reviewer that some big announcements be made in CES in Las Vegas. Obviously, it did not meet in time for it, but it is predicted that some major announcements be made in many areas including sensor technologies and new lenses in coming PMA. Just take this as a musing reading material at this time :-). Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
