Also, you cannot judge the *Ist place in the line-up from any of the current Pentax 35mm bodies.
You can tell from Pentax Japan web page, when they put *ist in the mid tier of the list of existing cameras. *ist is placed in between MZ-5n and MZ-6 and that's how Pentax headquarter people ranks them and this is a fact.
If Paal's argument is really what Pentax in mind, I think they could have started a new page list for *ist, instead of putting it onto the existing list.
What's written on the press release is another matter. They said "*ist" is entry level but they did said the same before for almost all MZ-series cameras except MZ-S and MZ-3. I did recall that they called "MZ-3" the "flagship" in their press release when it was launched in 1999.
