Yes, however if you buy a k10D you'll be set for 4-5 years. I expect that they'll be selling to high volume wedding photographers. This looks like a perfect camera for them. Joseph Tainter wrote: Sony is supposed to come with an FF sensor and camera in 2007 (supposedly first part of 2007).

So you want a fast normal APS lens? (28/2DA)? On FF, you can get a killer 50mm F1.4 for much less money thats twice as fast. Hell, how much are the 43mm/1.9 FF lenses going for compared to the DA28mm/2? the 43mm/1.9 FF lens on FF would most likely be way better overall performance than the
