1/250 flash sync, 1/8000 shutter, 5-8fps, buffer of at least 20 RAW's, all shooting controls on physical buttons, ~2500mAh battery, (hopefully) an aperture simulator, metal weather sealed body. Note I expect a price that's more than double that of the K10D. In other words, a D2X or 1D equivalent body. The K10D is enough for most people, but it's a serious prosumer body, just slightly downspec from a D200. There's a reason the D200 isn't the top of the line. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
