So you do understand that if PRIC needs to start from a clean slate on a project, it's going to take a while to get the job done? And that in the mean time if they can address some of the key problems with the K5 without taking too much from bigger projects that's a lot better than no improvements at all? > > What I have not done is taken part is the corporate shift that saw Pentax > move from (1) Family Owned, to (2) Public Ownership, to (3) Hoya, to (4) > Ricoh.

There are a lot of things I'd love to see different in the K-5, and I'd love to have the money to pay for them. In the meantime, the image quality that it can produce is amazing. I remember when I got my K-x and was blown away by how much better it was than the K20, and I hardly even use it anymore. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
