I just heard on the news that a class action suit has been started in California. It seems that the camera isn't sufficiently "green." A vegan group is looking into the possible use of animal products used in the camera, and an anti-polycarbonate and pseudo-plastic group is also concerned about the materials used in the camera body. There's a recently formed 1/4000 group that is, as you suggest, contemplating legal action, but the group is only in the formative stages of preparing an action plan. Many are thinking it's best to take action before the camera is released to head of any threat of possible environmental hazards the camera may unleash, or emotional distress caused by release of prototype photos and data. It's a minefield here, and Pentax is, I understand, preparing for a long and difficult series of legal battles. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to raise taxes in anticipation of any state involvement.
