The MZ/ZX series is 8 years old. According to Pentax sources and official info in Japan, Pentax regards the *ist as entry level. It was not my invention. The *ist is the first in a new generation of Pentax bodies.
Are all the new Pentax bodies going to be positioned above the *ist? Is Pentax abandoning the market below the $300 price point? Or is the *ist the first "entry" in the new line and we might see something cheaper? I hope so, or else Pentax is going be selling a lot fewer SLRs.
I told myself I was going to stop responding to this silliness, but unfortunately I have nothing better to do today. If it wasn't so damned cold outside I might actually go take some pictures for a change.
