And this helps a SLR shooter how? Who cares how well a company does if it doesn't sell what you want to buy?
Wanna see the pop up flash of my P&S Hasselblad? From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?P=E5l_Jensen?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ....theres no way a company will loose out for missing the slr boat. 99% (or similar) of camera sales are P&S. And in the upper part of the P&S marlet Pentax has been a market leader for 15 years. Hell, they invented the zoom compact. All camera manufacturers survive on P&S sales.
