I don't think one should judge pre release equipment, as it isn't necessarily 
what is going to 
be sold to the public. The picture I posted that was shot at 6400 shows some 
banding, but I 
don't find it objectionable, considering the ISO it was shot at. I took a 
similar picture at ISO 
3200 which shows  very minimal banding in the deep shadow, but I'm thinking 
that in a print it 
wouldn't be noticable. As of this point, I haven't seen any under exposure 
issues myself ( bear 
in mind, I've shot less than 100 frames with the thing), but more importantly, 
none of the users 
on this forum have yet to have a complaint.
I accept that Pentax AF isn't world class, Canon definitely wins the speed 
game, at four times 
the price.
Anyway, check out one of the cameras that has been released to the public, your 
information is 
out of date, and invalid.
