We have had two possible explanations of its meaning, tellingly
neither from you. Once more you attempt to frustrate and gainsay

they are expensive. If I could afford somwthing that would do
what my very modest film SLR does (cost under £200 IIRC) I would
get one but last time I looked it was going to cost thousands and
thousands, especially as there is nothing full frame that fits my
lenses.

They've come down a good bit. The 6.3 megapixel Canon EOS 300D
now sells for under £700 and uses the existing Canon EOS lenses

The Pentax ist DS is available for around £750
