Hmm, wonder what features it will omit apart from the stainless steel chassis?
If I was running the Baby D project then I would probably want to remove as many "advanced" features as possible to prevent cannibalization of *ist D sales. * So, no compatability with non A lenses (or M42 etc.) * Just Green mode, Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority * Delete one of the manual control wheels (probably the rear one) as only one is now needed. * Only one metering mode * No AF point selection * Only one set of CF settings, not three. * bundle it with a DA zoom to keep it small & light I'd also try and get it smaller than the *ist D if I could, but maybe use the same battery grip (make money on the accessories). Paul Ewins Melbourne, Australia -----Original Message----- From: Alan Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Another Pentax DSLR will be released this year at 1/2 the price of the *ist D. The new model will be made of plastic to reduce the manufacturing cost.
