The trend in the past has been to concentrat on Medium Format as "professional", but to have one pro-featured 35mm body. I see that trend continuing. Here's what I predict: Because of dust problems with 35mm-format-factor digitals, Pentax will recommend a single lens stay attached to the coming 35mm-form-factor body: The 24-90. Also, the new, top-of-the-line AF on the MZ-S will migrate to the 645 AND the metering will migrate to the 67. In addition, we'll see at least one of the two replaced with a digial. Perhaps both. By late 2002 we're going to see more & larger sensors -- CCD & CMOS -- that will make pro work very simple. Also, don't be surprised to see an IBM Microdrive in the 10-gig-plus arena. Type 3 form-factor. Really useful. This year will be revolutionary. More than we can imagine. So, if you want a collectible, get your hands on some of those old Mustek, et. al., digital cameras. They're early units and, marketwise, foundational to the era. jmnsho, Collin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
