Taken together, those statements suggests that the low end of the consumer market extends up to around $1500. I think that's too high by at least a factor of two (or more); the low end will probably be $500 - $600 over the next couple of years, and the midrange will probably be $650 - $900. Anything over $1000 will already be at the high end of the consumer market; $1500 or more pushes you firmly into the advanced amateur / semi-pro segment. And if you are right about a FF camera selling for $1500 it's never going to be in the bulk consumer market (which I believe to be the case). -- 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.
