Not always true. Neither Canon nor Nikon have Pentax' MTF program line, and Sv, TAv exposure modes as far as I'm aware. > The real question is convergence.

Personally, I feel that point has happened already. It depends a lot on what you're after, what you need or want. I look for core competencies: imaging quality, noise, lens qualities. I don't really care much about high speed sequence capture, AF, etc. For me, most of the DSLRs available since the introduction of the Canon 10D work well enough that my principle discriminators are lens line and control ergonomics, adaptability. Others, with other needs or desires, want more stuff. ;-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
