That's good news Mark! I was just reading the July/August issue of American Photo and it is a special issue with the 2006 Editors Choice awards.
In the "Entry Level DSLRs" section it lists: 1.) Olympus E-330 2.) Samsung GX-1L and GX-1S 3.) Pentax K110D It mentions the collabaration between Samsung and Pentax. 3 out of 4 mentioned are Pentax! Not bad huh?
