However, some lenses in previous roadmap were denoted as DFA but now DA. I am sure each camera maker are given by sensor makers their development roadmaps and Pentax did not see any so called FF sensors in foreseeable future, or they are still too expensive. I would believe that some makers might try FF DSLRs but for exploration only and they will never sell in great numbers, at least for now. Or, there may have been significant progress in the development of APS size sensors. In any case, I personally do not want DSLRs going for larger sensor, with larger mirrors/mirror boxes etc. When Sony entered into DSLR market, they said that they would endeavour to keep sensor size as small as possible (yet they might announce an FF DSLR :-). Sensor, particularly CCD, is a semiconductor and in that world, the smaller, the better. We'll see. I need a small Pentax digital ranger finder that can use compact Limited's. That would be fabulous. Don't make DSLRS any larger than K10D please! YMMV. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
