Actually, Concord was beaten in the race for supersonic passenger flight by the Tupolev TU-144.

As regards Pentax’s medium-format plans, she admits that their “priorities are clearly on products that address a broader audience”, adding that “as a comparatively small manufacturer, we have to allocate our resources according to business priorities”, which effectively means that the development of a digital medium-format Pentax model has been put on the back burner for the time being.
Ms Remmers has obviously not been to many marketing meetings lately. Pentax are (again) showing a review model of the 645D this year.

I seem to remember they are all grounded. Was it not to expensive to keep them going after the crash in France
They were always too expensive to operate.

Flights did resume after the fatal crash in France when the fuel tanks had been modified with anti-puncture linings.

All Concord/Concorde aircraft were taken out of service soon after.

I had a two hour flight in one and it's a most awesome experience. We were at mach 2 for about 10 minutes. Exhilarating is an understatement.

Thanks Dan. That's also my understanding of a double negative. Or at least it was, now I'm not so sure that I'm not confused.

Point 'n shoot cameras use an electronic shutter (no moving parts) which is why so many of them use 'live view' in preference to a proper viewfinder. Some have both of course.

As far as I know the K20D has a real shutter and I'm guessing that it's required to achieve the very fast shutter speeds available on SLR's
