Posts: 194 | Pentax is looking at a glorious future At least according to Douglas Coupland. From his latest book, Generation A (a near-future novel): "He held a military-grade Pentax capable of snapping three hundred 2-gig photos per second". |

Posts: 52 | aah, but nobody will buy it because even though it'll be half the price of the Canon, the Canon will take 309 2.1gig photos every 0.96 seconds and any other camera will be pointlessly rubbish. |

Posts: 141 | Can you image the noise on ~300 megapixel APS-C? Also, I'm assuming that's 300FPS in manual focus? Does it drop to 1.5 when in continuous AF? I like my science fiction to be at lest remotely realistic... |
