If they come out with something that has all the missing features that I want that arent in the *istD series cameras it would be damn near impossible to resist getting. As it is I am fence sitting at the moment...My position is well known, I want open aperture manual and open aperture AE with K/M lenses quite badly, as I literally have dozens of these lenses and I like to use them that way.... jco

Not because I am patently unhappy with it. The *ist D was all there was for Pentax users when it came out. While I dislike the, IMO, reduced feature sets of the D(eviants), I'm not sure the *ist D is worth a time and a half or twice as much as them at this point in the game. If I was set on buying a Pentax DSLR, I would hold off until there is an *ist D successor, if one is forthcoming. If you can convince a reseller to sell you an *ist D at a bargain basement price, maybe. Tom C.
