Agreed that this is what is availible and likely.  What I meant was that 
I'd accept 4.  I can get film-quality 8x10s out of 2.77.

SD card slots are starting to show up in DSLRs as well as a lot of P&Ss.
Given how much Pentax likes small and light, I wouldn't discount the idea.

I'd think this would be pretty cheap to implement, and pretty standard
these days (although I haven't really looked at an entry-level camera
in years).  If it isn't there, it's probably for marketing reasons.

Makes sense, as there isn't much else to base it on except maybe the ZX-M.
There's no need for a new baby film body because that's what the *ist is.
