REPLY: Ideas are like beards. Men doesn't have them until they grow up. Incidentally, didn't you say the same thing about a Pentax DSLR? That they would never make one because they hadn't the R&D resources? Personally, I don't think Canon use their money from selling office machines for making slr cameras. Pentax have all the R&D finances and capabilities to make any camera they want. The "problem" is marketing and profitability. Not R&D money. P�l
