If they sold that many, every camera manufacturer would make one and the competition would drive the price down to $500.00! Speaking of which, I note that the Sigma DP2 is now under $500 in some places. Still too much, given its shortcomings, but it's starting to get tempting. I hope it sells well enough for Sigma to make a DP3. The DP2 was apparently quite an improvement over the DP1, so they just need to be encouraged enough to keep the line going... -- 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.
