I'm surprised, I would have thought you would have the top of the range? Ouch, sorry I wont start that one again... ;-)
Yeah, I think I need to reign in my temptations a bit. But then I might not bother after all as I do love film and I have the stills mode on the camcorder which uses MMC cards for when I really need instant digi-images, like emailing pics to the folks of my kids when they were 2 hours old etc... Ho, hum. Now if Pentax were to have that D-SLR (pretty please) at photokina I wont need to keep mulling this one over any longer! > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Dobo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 17 September 2002 15:27 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Optio 330 GS announced > > > From what the pros tell me, it's glass element(s) are far too > small for it to compete with many other brands.
