Wouldn't be surprised if it sold more than all of Pentax's 35mm slrs together. :-) I just have to think that anything that is good for the 35mm slr market in general is good for Pentax, too. Once you have people looking at buying to a new product category, some are going to want to see what their options are. If only Pentax would try a little harder to get bodies and lenses on the shelves of retailers, they could probably pick up more market share just on store feel alone. You can see a look of semi-confusion on the faces of Rebel users when they first pick up a Pentax (at least the ZX-5n). And you can tell it's something like, "Hey, this feels different than I thought it was going to." Followed by, "Hey, how come my camera feels sort of cheap?" Dan Scott
