The price tag would be high. Could I afford one? Good question. I, too, would be somewhat concerned with low light performance. The real disappointment is not just that it is delayed, but I keep seeing a pattern. Rather than driving the market, Pentax is only responding to market changes. Response takes time. So they are always a "day late and a dollar short" as they say. While I really like my MZ-S, I could of had an F100 quite a while ago or an N80 more recently or a D1 or D1 follow ons, etc. In the meantime, I can read about what Pentax might do. To start and stop and start and stop, doesn't get much product to market.
Sorry for the rant. I just worked for the last 10 years for a company that was always a day late and a dollar short on their product. It was frustrating to never be ahead of the curve and to always explain why being behind was a *good* thing. There is a difference between just surviving and actually thriving.
