The Nikon 8700 seems to set a new standard. Nice lens, compact design. 8mp! Modest price. Just lacks the integerchangable lens. I guess they hope to sell it to those shopping for the little Canon (or even their cheapie) but perhaps wanting to trade interchangable lenses for a more durable body. It's really a nice unit.
And the istD seems to be around the $1200 price range (online). So what will Pentax show this Christmas? A) Nothing, as always B) $500 fixed-lens P&S C) Seriously dropping the istD price to soak the Pentax buyer market D) Other ___________________
