Brian Walters referred that revelation to the list just a few hours ago. Maybe his message hadn't reached you yet. It certainly brings more fuel to the rumor fire towards Photokina. It brings some more substance to the press release from Kodak a year ago about cooperation with Pentax for a MedF digital project too. Not that the two are necessarily related, though.
It certainly makes me curious about what they have in store. Last time they upgraded their MedF cameras, they re-used a lot of design elements and electronics from the MZ-5 and the rest of the MZ-series. Even if the *istD was less than a success, it might be that it was a test product for things to come. That they needed an DSLR on the market to see how their concepts work in real life. Oh, well... We live in interesting times, I suppose.
