Reviews of more advanced digital cameras (e.g., Fuji 6900 and Minolta
Dimage 7 in the current Popular Photography) show that digital cameras
are capable of excellent low-noise performance.�Both of these cameras
have electronic through the lens viewfinders.� I doubt that this creates
any noise problem, since the image is electronically replicated, not like
light diverted to two different paths as in pellicle mirror SLRs.�It has
to be admitted that the Pentax/HP collaboration is behind on
technology.�� The Pentax K system of SLRs from the MX through to the
MZ-5n had strong appeal, because of great design and great lenses.��
However,� in digital cameras the non-interchangeable electronic pick-up
is the key.� It doesn't make sense to stick with Pentax because just
because it is Pentax, when it has no particular expertise in this
non-optical field.
