The point is not whether the buyer of todays technology will be sitting in the dust or not. Were that the point, there would be very few users of Pentax SLR cameras at all. The point is that companies that want to have a place in this market need to get cameras out there now. Not next year, or in a few years. Pentax at least needs a prosumer digital very soon to be taken seriously by the marketplace. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
