I'm on the verge of buying a Q7, but I'm doing my best to wait for Photokina just in case they come out with a new one. They've put out a new model every year so far, so it's certainly a possibility. A Q camera wouldn't replace my K-5, but it could certainly be a lot of fun. I could adapt both my K and Auto 110 lenses to it. My K 500mm would be some kind of ridiculous telescope with the Q's crop factor, and I could even get it in black and yellow, to match my car. ;D John -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
