Sure. The D300 is benefiting from both some single-digit body that ate the development cost for the auto-focus in an accounting sense and Nikon's overall volume that's paying for the testing, which is what, 8 times Pentax's or so? Now that Pentax is doing relatively much better than they used to be? I would really hate to be the guy who has to make Pentax's product development roadmap decisions. -- Graydon -- 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.
