Hi friends, I forgot to tell you that the *ist D on show at Pentax Day last June 22 was not production type :-( To be more precise, the hardware was production type for sure (including a standard serial number), nice finished and working well (as opposed to that on show at PhotoShow last March), but the firmware was still incomplete and not fully working (heavy underexposure when taking pictures, exposure compensation not working, etc.). For that reason I was not allowed to shoot and get picture files on my compactflash card for close inspection at home, like I was hoping before the Pentax Day (or Pentax D-Day, as Caveman suggested). So, in order to know how well the *ist D will work, we still have to wait some more time :-( Despite that, I'm rather confident that the production *ist D will be on sale very soon, as promised.
