megapixels is fine for magazine work but more is always better, other things

deliver the goods. if they aren't, then i will find a $5K body that will.
the 1D Mk2 is pretty close to what i need. if Pentax doesn't have a $5K body
in the wings and it's just a rumor, then the frame rate and megapixels will
be the main reasons i go elsewhere. will i keep and shoot Pentax? i won't
abandon the *istD but it will see a lot less use. i have 4 film bodies i
haven't used since i got my *istD. some of them will have to go.

Just out of curiousity, what's not credible about the *istD? I know a lot
of pros using Nikon D100s or Canon 10Ds, both of which are very similar
featurewise. The feature that I find the *istD lacking most for my style
of pro work is a "motor drive", and aside from the LX, MX, and PZ-1P
Pentax has never catered to serious motor drive users.
