If you'd been paying attention to the photos from PMA, you'd have seen it was pretty much a better and slightly larger *istD. You can get a grip for it, much like the D, if you really want to pretend it's like those other cameras. > I was hope ing to buy a Pentax > equivalent to the Nikon big bodies i have. Hmm, let's see... how well did the MZ-S do in the pro photographer market? How many pro photographers use 35mm or digital Pentax SLRs? Virtually none, you say? Well then, I don't see how Pentax could even hope to make any money if they tried to get back into the high-end non-medium format SLR market. Besides, they don't have the big glass that so many pros want (from my experience in the camera shop I work at, anyway). In short, Pentax could build it, but no one would come. No one aside from a few of us rabid fans, anyway. They'd go bankrupt and then we'd all be buying Samsung cameras and lenses. > Dave, the disappointed, Brooks Should I send a whaaaaaaaambulance?
