Think this one isn't very exciting. It's a small-sensor super-zoom P&S camera that I don't think Pentax even designed themselves -- it's suspiciously like the Nikon Coolpix P90. I think both companies said "we need to hit this market niche" and contracted out someone to make something to put their name on. -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> The Definitive Pentax P-TTL Flash Model Guide: <http://pttl.mattdm.org/> -- 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.
