Re: OT - Opposition Notching up a gear...

You betcha. This is one of the biggest reasons. That's just not reason for me to pay that much to be an early adopter. OTOH, if next year they come out with $800 *ist D equivalent, then I'm OK with paying some extra for the *ist D this year. But not $3000 +. BTW, the new Canon 1DII looks to b

Re: OT - Opposition Notching up a gear...

Hi! I have one question and one answer. Steve - I wouldn't be tempted by $800-$900 DSLR until Pentax produces one as for me it would mean buying lenses too, which is over my head. I may be tempted however by $700 DZLR assuming prices of Nikon CoolPix 8700 eventually reach that level and it sco

RE: OT - Opposition Notching up a gear...

It had better be "is". Pentax only really competes with N and C in the amateur market. I admit I have not idea what they plan to do at the MF level. The only high end camera I see for them is a digital back for their 645nii, or a redesigned 645 dual format. As has been pointed out here, what's

I personally think Pentax is far more concerned with the D70 than this Canon. That's where their money is . .. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OT - Opposition Notching up a gear...

This wasn't comment but a real question. I myslef would never pay $3000+ for a cmaera. The *ist D is about the upper limit for me. I do think that pros and "enthusiasts" that use Pentax MF might spring for it since they spend bigger money on their equipment. Steven Desjardins Department of

RE: OT - Opposition Notching up a gear...

I don't know, they seem to be selling quite a few *ist-D's in spite of: 1.) The lack of aperture simulator, (yes that has been partially addressed which makes it more likely I'll buy one in the near future). 2.) Lack of advertising, at least compared to the Canon and Nikon offerings. 3.) Really
