Wouldn't it be great, if after waiting so long for Pentax to produce a DSLR,
that a model was released that performance-wise and price-wise blew away the
competiton? Or at least brought Pentax up in stature somehow? I don't
expect it...
But if it was a FF... maybe... any info on that?

No, Pentax does not like official releases of information, even after the
thing is in the hands of reviewers. However, the info came from a usually
reliable source. His info on the istDs, that I posted here on the list at
least a month before any official info, was right on target. He gave me the
info about the spring release at the same time and had no details except it
was to be a model above the istD.

Look for a upscale model in the late spring. If they have not changed
their plans that is.

Hi all,
My name is Joakim Johansson and I'm a new member.
I have a question, witch perhaps have been discussed before, about the
next
Pentax DSLR. Is it possible that Pentax release a new advanced model (a
upgrade of the *istD) during 2005, and what can we expect from it if
that is
the case?
I think the new camera is scheduled to be released at the next Ulan
Bator show......
Seriously, they pretty much have to release a new model, if for no other
reason than to maintain some sort of dignity in the marketplace.
My bet is nothing until the fall of 2005, similar body style to the
istD, 8mp, more or less the same feature set as the istD, but with a
larger buffer and faster frame rate.
Note, this may well be completely off base.
