Your NON-response from Pentax is incredible! [paraphrased] - "All the info we have (!) is on our web site?" In just a short time, a few weeks perhaps, Pentax is about to distribute one of the more important cameras they've introduced in literally years and years, and they won't allow their P.R. folks to give out minor information about it to interested potential purchasers? Not even to 'fan club' members? Amazing! This is a public relations person? I don't believe it! Or, perhaps I should... Her answer sounds like the camera was being made FOR Pentax to distribute and sell ~ not that it was designed and manufactured for sale by Pentax... Hmmm. Very interesting. One can read a lot into that non-answer.
