Agreed. Although a dual card system might have some value as noted in another message, appealing, perhaps to both Optio users as an upgrade and istD users as a second body. Upon hearing about the "baby" dslr I became interested as it would appear to be a perfect upgrade from the Sony digi that I use. However, without a CF card I'd give that possibility much deeper thought. The CF cards are almost ubiquitous, offer much more flexibility ... kind of like the Tri-X of memory cards.
Anyway, this is as much speculation and mental gymnastics as I'll do on this subject. When the camera arrives in the shops, we'll know the configuration and price point with somewhat more certainty, as well as it's place in the Pentax digital lineup.
