I disagree about a "pro" model. Firstly Pentax is not going to spend the money to give freebies and unlimited free service to so called "pros". Secondly, it seems to me that Pentax is quite happy in the advanced amateur/enthusiast market

Perhaps the *istD will be even shorter? I believe its main function will be to quench the initial thirst for a Pentax DSLR. I hope its sucessor and the pro model will be released with new goodies like new higher end lenses and perhaps changes to the lens mount. P�l
