Well, I don't think it is middle level but entry level. Entry level can be defined in several ways: it doesn't necesarily mean the cheapest body on offer. The J lenses are obviously entry level and there might of course be a few more of them. After all, the lenses are in line with what the competition offers. As to possible mount limitation of the *Ist and the obvious limitations of the FAJ lenses, I don't think it matters as no owners of K and M lenses are in the market for FAJ lenses anyway and very few of those with large collection of 20+ years old lenses are in the market for entry level cameras. Even if the *Ist turns out compromized in some respect it will still be better in terms of compatibility than any of the competition as no other comparable entry level camera offer full compatibility from the lenses the maker have been manuacturing the last 20 years.
