Hi,
there's a BIG difference - Pentax film bodies are more or less
technically perfect, there's actually nothing missing, both from quality
and handling. I am very satisfied with my Z-1p.
Digitals are the whole different story - quality of current 6MPix chip
used in Pentaxes do not satisfy me. And there ARE much better chips and
ergonomics found at other manufacturers cameras. I do review couple of
cameras for our local computer/digital photography magazine every month
- so I really have had cameras to compare with. Lately reviewed Nikon
D200 blows the whole *ist D family away *hands down*... I'm not going to
say a word about Canon 5D. I'm sorry, I even do consider this dirt-cheap
Olympus E-500 better than *ist DL... The only reason I do not buy 'em is
a pile of superior Pentax lenses I do have (and having quite permanently
some digital SLR in my hands for testing)...
BR, Margus

Hi,
Am I the only one, who have got tired of those low-end 6MPix Pentaxes?
New body (hah), same sensor, nothing really new...again and again...
But what about that 35mm gear? Decades of the same old body, using the same
old stuff.
And don't get me started on the 6x7.......
