I will probably take one but what worries me is the Canon EOS-10D is at third generation and will come in at less than 2200 Euro and this Pentax first generation may be more expensive. But when I look at the cost of my present glass and the loss in selling it all then I only have one alternative, *ist-D. I'm in a much better position then you as I have slowly updated my computer gear to cope with digital and am ready.
Ziggy I won't buy it for the following reasons: - It is just a Nikon F80 with K-mount. The F80 has never tempted me the slightest. - It will be outdated in six months. - It will be too expensive as long as it cost more than $1000. - Low resolution images. - Too expensive: I have to update all my computer equipment and buy lots of paraphernalia to have any pleasure out of it. - At present no lenses that take advantage of the small image circle. When they come, I might be tempted by the follow up(s) of the *ist D. - I find it to be a deeply derivative and unimaginable camera. I think this is going to backfire; people who want a Nikon F80 or a D100 are probably going to buy the real thing. P�l
