Nothing for us? Although I'm dissapointed by it's look as have heard it was very stylish. I think it is ugly. Anyway, it is very feature laden, almost completely featured, with 11 point AF and cross sensors and 16 zone metering. It is most likely the platform for the coming digital slr. Those who hoped for Pentax DSLR without crippled AF have been heard. Also, it is noteworthy that the Ist is almost certainly the new entry level in the line up. I base this on the fact that the Toyotas that inspired it are entry level. Since the Ist is very comprehensively featured, it spell good for the at least two models placed above it. I see no sign of a KAF3 mount but that may have been reserved for coming models higher up in the line-up. Anyway, Pentax have significantly updated the technology they put in their cameras. I feel certain that every MZ-series camera will dissapear this year. My guess is, with no basis whatsoever, is that they will show the Ist digital sibling at the show proper. A new 67 and other new 35mm bodies are reserved for later this year. P�l
