Pentax seems to be concentrating on entry level aps Models and ignoring their FF past. They don't want To develop a new line of FF lenses to sell with the FF Camera, so they are avoiding FF camera it seems. Sucks....

Sony now has a FF camera? <channeling Seth and Amy from SNL> Really, Pentax? You're going to allow Sony to jump into the FF market ahead of you? Really? Sony? The company that made the Walkman and the Betamax? I mean you've been making SLR's since what, 1952? Sony's been making them since...? Really? ;-] On the serious side, I don't really have much of a dog in this race. FF isn't the end-all-be-all for me (and some of the specs on the A900 aren't really that impresive, ISO range and AF). And yes, yes, yes...I realize that Sony has all the money in the world to put into R&D and production. And we all know about Pentax's marketing strategy and pro-sumer bias right now, but for whatever reason a FF Sony camera being out there without a Pentax rival chaps my hide a bit. I should remember the thing is going to cost $3000. Makes me feel a little bit better. K, I'm done. -Brendan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
