So, I am beginning to think that these things can be construed as cruelty to children. I've seen so many pictures of kids having complete meltdowns this year. Perhaps this is where angry young people come from. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

What are you doing to your poor wheels? I'm hard on wheels (~250lbs and not a finesse rider) and I get at least 2-3 years out of a set of machine-built wheels. Handbuilt wheels should last until you wear through the rim barring accidents. My current commuter ride has 3 years on a XT/Mavic X517

I'd agree. The flip-out LCD and live view are the E-3 features that I'd really like to see on a Pentax. I would prefer a true 640x480 LCD instead of the lower-resolution unit on all but the new Nikon's and Sony's, but I don't need 3. 2.5 is just fine as long as it has the extra pixels. -Adam On
