I take it Candace got in touch with you? Her comment was that now she knows why people buy Canon and Nikon, they can't find Pentax. As to Adam's comment about the DA limiteds, I've been going on about that for the past couple of days. I got the DA40 from my K100 and I absolutely love the combination. If Pentax offered that as an alternative to the kit lens, they would sell a metric buttload (or 2.2 American buttloads) of them, just based on size and weight. They might have some problems with that kit giving better image quality than the K20D with the kit lens. # # I just did a check in the Sacramento, California region to see if I # could find a store that had one in stock.

Sad to hear. Fortunately San Jose Camera is pretty good about carryng Pentax, for reasonable prices. # # -- # Best regards, # Bruce # # # Friday, February 6, 2009, 5:19:27 AM, you wrote: # # BW> The Register reviewed and *really* likes the Pentax K-m (K2000). # # BW> "If the K-m doesn?t force other camera manufacturers to raise their game # BW> in the entry-level DSLR sector, we?ll eat our collective hats." # # BW> http://snipurl.com/berte # BW> http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/02/06/review_digital_slr_camera_pentax_k_m/ # # BW> -bmw # # # BW> -- # BW> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List # BW> [email protected] # BW> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net # BW> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. # # # # # -- # PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List # [email protected] # http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net # to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- It's not the steps in the dance, it's the dance in the steps.
