Your presumption that a 5 year old digital camera is not useful is false though. Just because a newer, faster, whatever piece of equipment hits the market, it does not render the predecessor useless. Since digital cameras have no moving parts (other than the shutter button), there is a good chance they will outlast many of the presently made mostly plastic film cameras. Of course, only time will tell, it really is impossible to predict. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
