I think Pentax will demo a DSLR by the end of the year. Obviously they intend to do so, as shown by the demo of the MZ-D and the press release announcing it's withdrawal. I'd look for a 3 or 4 meg SLR at Photokina. BTW, I need one. I've seen decent 8x10's and passable 11x14's from the D30. I think the next generation will have the resolution, and the generation after that will have the sensitivity that I'm looking for. Lately I've had some none-wedding jobs where digital would be perfect, and I suspect at some point I'll have to take a close look at digital for weddings and portraits. I'm not at the point where I *have* to do it for weddings...but I suspect that day is coming. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
