While it does seem to add weight (the K100D is about 75g heavier than the K110D) the K100D is only a little larger than the *ist DS or DL; in fact it's pretty much the same size (and weight) as the *ist D, except that the hand grip and built-in flash stick out more in front. The K10D is quite a bit larger (and heavier), of course, but I don't think that the additional size can be blamed on the shake reduction. Mind you, I'm sure we will see Pentax introducing several different variants on the KxxxD bodies. There will obviously need to be a new K100D/K110D equivalent that works with the DA* lenses, and I'm sure we'll see the 10MP sensor in a smaller, lighter body as well. That's my guess at what the rumoured two new DSLRs at PMA will be. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
