Here we have two of the latest innovations in the digital camera world: the Canon EOS 10D prosumer level, and the Pentax *ist D (what’s with these unpronouncable names?). What makes these cameras special is that they use interchangeable lenses, while added superior capture features, thus making them more suitable for pros, but at a price that’s not nuts (the price of the new Kodak 14n, for example, a 14 MP camera, is $4000 US).

Pentax *ist D 6.1 MP 11 point AutoFocus 2.7 frames/second K-mount lenses No price yet; August Canon EOS 10D 6.3 MP 7 point AutoFocus 3 frames/second Canon EF lens mount $1500 US; Now

The Kodak DCS-14n seems to want to compete with the above two units, but I’d have to say, not at the announced price!
