I know that what I'm about to say is trite and meaningless and that things are not the same as they were and never will be (hell, that's never stopped me before!), but I wonder how many cameras made today will still be fully operational in 80 year's time? Not just fully operational, but capable of taking images of the highest quality? Looks like that would be a fun purchase, Bob! cheers, frank ps: does it have a live view screen on the back? -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.
