There's a lot of truth in that. I remember being the only one who was disappointed that the price of the K10-D was too *low* when it was introduced; I wanted something priced near (and competitive with) the cameras in the $2000 range at that time. Mind you, I think (hope) the success of the 645D has given Pentax the courage to make the full-frame camera in the $2000-2500 range when it appears. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
