My brother bought one and he let me play with it last Friday for about 30 minutes. It is pretty impressive in size and quality feel. Very tiny and seems very sturdy. It does get a little warm along the front side in one area. I have nothing to compare it to, but it certainly is no stinker. I was fairly impressed with the quality of the zoom lens. I found it strange how I had no desire to put my eye up to the viewfinder and just looked at the LCD on the back to frame the shot. It was very easy to get the picture onto a tv screen. <P.P.S. In issue #3 of The 37th Frame newsletter (www.37thframe.com), <I'm going to What happened to the second issue? Did that already get sent out? dave _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
