My quick response: better = USB 2. faster FPS and bigger buffer. Larger LCD, faster synch, better sharpness, saturation and contrast range settings, apparently you can rotate pictures in camera and have the default display with the histogram overlay and has a blown-highlights indicator.
not as good = no mirror lock up, doesn't look like it can take a vertical release/battery grip
Stuff that doesn't worry me either way: SD cards, Picture modes.
Exactly what I expected in a "budget" DSLR to compete with the 300D. Those of you thinking it was going to be a replacement for the current *ist D were insane. After all these years haven't you figured out how Pentax works?
Honestly it looks like a *ist film body...
What I'm hoping for as a result of this camera being released: firmware updates for the current D and new/updated browsing/RAW conversion software.
