> The fact is that the third party Sigma DSLR achieved more interest at announcement than the *ist D, but does it sell? I agree that Pentax has become a cheap brand but they cannot survive in the DSLR market by being cheap as I fear both Nikon and Caon have the market share giving them the power to be even cheaper.
Just for the sake of competition, from which we, the consumer, would benefit, wouldn't it be nice if the 3rd parties like sigma built their digitals to fit more then one lens system? The same way they build one lense and make it work on all the most popular brand SLR's. Oh well it's nice to dream anyways.
