.... and I note that they make a feature of using multi-layer boards. Does
this indicate that other digicams don't use them?

Snazzy. 2" LCD is nice. How many of you Pentax users will actually
consider making the switch at $800-$900 instead of $1500?

"Switch" - absolutely not. Film is still so much higher quality and is what
my market demands.

But that said, I'll probably be buying one, just not "switching" in the
sense of using it instead of film. It'll be a great teaching tool, and good
for images for the web. Not to mention all the pictures Sharon always wants
me to take of her with this group of friends, with that group of friends,
with the dogs, with...

You'll come to the dark side soon enough, Luke.

Yes. Digital is great for things you want to take a bazillion pictures
of, but don't really want to pay the developing on.

!

How long have multilayer boards been around, at least 20 years I'd guess.
This is assuming double sided boards don't count as multi layer.

And that was my point as I was specifying them for military equipment many,
many years ago. Without thinking about it, I'd simply assumed that our
(more expensive) modern gadgets used multi-layer boards, but for Pentax to
make an issue of it (for the *st DS) may suggest that they know otherwise.
Perhaps flexible multilayer boards are more difficult?

Double sided fleximble boards are not new. Maybe, as you postulate,
multilayer flexible ones are a new advance.
