The *ist sounds like a nice little camera. I'm not sure how well it's going to fare as an F80 / Elan 7 contender (my Pentax rep describes it as an MZ-5n replacement, so there will be a body below it), but it looks good on paper. Unfortunately, I won't buy any more Pentax AF bodies until AF is quieter than it currently is. I'd prefer Canon's silent operation, but I'd even be happy with Nikon's volume. chris
