The *ist D that is.  Our local Pentax rep gave me a call on his way to
GFM via Hickory and asked if I wanted to fondle an *ist D.  About 20
minutes later I had one in my grubby little paws. I only had a 16 MB CF
card with me, but here are 3 grab shots taken about 30 minutes ago:

It's much smaller and lighter than my MZ-S.  Viewfinder seemed pretty
bright with the (I think) 18-35 on it.  I pulled the lens and there is
an aperture lever, but further testing tomorrow evening on the mountain
will determine how much it may be crippled.  Left side of the lens mount
is typical Pentax, and even includes a PC terminal.  Hyper modes appear
identical to the PZ-1P.
