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.
Pal, to call the *ist entry is nonsens, it replace the the MZ-6 which is not entry. It has even better spec's than the F75, Dynax 5, or Canon 300V which are not entry level. It has a faster winder and shorter sync speed and better AF as the MZ-5n (and C-AF which only the top cameras had up to now) It has an AF system including the on screen indication and AF-selection, which I would like to see at the MZ-S , It has 17 PF-functions ( the MZ-5n has none) It has high speed sync, P-TTL and so on and on ... The FAJ lenses are entry level, look at the price. They are replacing the price wise the 35-80 and the 4.5-5.6 80-200. The new 3.2-4.5 28-105 is ideal lens to the *ist. Have you looked at he diameter of the new FAJ lenses, the are even smaller than the small fish-eye zoom. regards R�diger
