I could see that an LCD-only dSLR could be made to work... ok it's not the same as pentaprism, but I could see a market

I'm thinking that LCD screens are getting good enough to replace other viewing methodsI would say - no EVF, just LCD. This is what most digicam users expect to happen, and allows you to zoom for manual focus (I've even managed manual focus on the K20D live view when zoomed :shock.

anybody played the Hassie h series? now there is a sensor.
I may be shooting one for a wedding this summer, if the customer wants to pay an extra grand that is... I've got the Phocus/Flexcolor software....
I hope the pentax 645d comes soon it would be nice to buy, rather than rent...there is always the risk that the rental may be booked on the very day I need it...hasn't happened yet..but...

to help out with "Brush" problem....
look in your image editor for a filter called "Liquify".
instead of painting over or erasing , try manipulating with Liquify.

I have taken this from a Dutch forum. The poster, Pentaxke, has contacts in the industry. Never the less take it all with a pinch of salt given the date.
He states that it will be announced on 30th April and will have:
A magnesium body, Jis class 7 water proof 9whatever that means .
Safox X AF with 25 focus points.
New sensor - possibly square so that the user can decide the ratio.
5fps.
Internal 4GB memory.
New Li-ion battery for 2500 shots, plus maybe AA capability.
Built in GPS, for tagging and for use as a GPS unit with maps- though it will then take some of the inbuilt memory.
5 colours - including Olive green and scarlet Lenses still only in black though.
Also:
New pancake zoom lens 26-43mm. Maybe in colours to match the camera.
As I said remember the date, but it could be interesting if it is true!

thanx... well I think it would look better cropped a little off the left and bottom, but this one will be a montage with three smaller images added to it....so it isn't quite done.
