I don't think the DSLR and the 110 DSLR are the same thing. Theres also the obvious possibility that the 110 digital rumor is just bull although the idea is neat. I for one, don't believe a minute that the camera, if it exist, is based on the Auto 110. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to make a new DSLR on a camera discontinued for 20 years or more. The lens mount need to be updated as well to facilitate electronics. However, there are 1,5 million Pentax 110 lenses made. P�l
