I would be more interested in the K1D, if it were about to be announced. The 1DmIII sounds nice, but to be honest, I wouldn't give up my Mark II for that. Live preview? I like optical viewfinders. The 100% finder would interest me. For working sports pros, the camera is a must. But not me. <http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller? act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=14999> I am much more interested in a 24X36 sensor. Folks here have said that is no longer the Holy Grail, and I can understand that. Doesn't stop me from preferring 24X36 though ;-) BTW, just got a couple of new Pentax cameras! An A10 for my son and an S6 for the Mrs. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
