Even though I doubt I'll want to spend the money on either new DSLR
anytime soon, I'm just pleased to see Pentax moving forward. This
especially applies to new lenses, that I might buy. I do think it's
funny that they have so many lenses around normal. An d now I can
think longingly about the
the first time I'll meet you :-)

Just like with the D, wait for the cut-down versions. Unlike the D,
they may be badged Samsung.

Yes we are. But both will undoubtedly be significantly better than any
of the current cameras.

The camera seem quite large. It could in fact include in-body stabilizer. If
it does this will be my first digital camera.
The 645D have the green button. It seem to mimick the K-mount cameras

I don't think it appears to be very large. The lens is obviously quite
large in comparison to the camera. I would like image stabilization if
it doesn't add a lot of cost. But I suspect the new Pentax DSLR won't

In the hand, the LX feels larger than the MZ-S. The MZ-S is taller
but the shape is more ergonomic.
The D/DS et al are thicker feeling. I agree with Paul ... it doesn't
look much bigger than the D/DS to me.
If the new body does have image stabilization in addition to the
10Mpixel sensor,
DZ1 would be funnier.

I'm sure it will accommodate early lenses in a manner at least as

Personally, for the sort of stuff I do out in the world, the more
unobtrusive it is, the better I'll like it. That's one of the reasons I
picked the Ds in the first place. I have a fair collection of Nikon
