For me? For that money? Pro-level build (D2/D3-level). At least 5fps. Low-light AF competitive with the Nikon D300 (I don't care about AF-C speed or AF speed in good light). 1/250th or higher flash sync. 100% finder. IQ as good or better than K20D. Dual card slots with the option of writing sequentially, mirroring or JPEG to one, RAW to the other as well as copying one card to the other. 2000+ shot per charge battery option (Preferably with the option of running the K10D battery as well). I'd like the option of a removable grip, but can live with an integrated one. High-rez rear LCD is a must (A la Nikon D3/D300). Preferably articulated like a E-300 or the new Sony A300/A350. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
