I know there are a helluva lot of arguments for and against HDSLRs, but 
even if you haven't thought about them at this point, this announcement 
may have you rethinking the situation and possibly even doing some super 
cheap HDSLR experimenting:

Compared to the others, it's not a bad deal at $649.95:
12MP (stills)
720p24 (yep, that's 1280x720 and 24p like the Nikon D300s)
AVI (motion JPG).
SD/SDHC
CMOS: 23.6 x 15.8mm

Unfortunately, from what they have listed on the site, it'll be another 
10 days before it ships...

I'll admit - I'm torn. I've been investigating all the HDSLRs and I have 
to say that the entry level price-tag on this one is much easier to 
swallow. I just wonder what other good HDSLR models will be released by 
the end of this year?

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get a lens adapter to work with 
the Pentax and/or M42 lens systems and my OCT18/OCT19 lenses???
