What's the deal on the rebate? Is it a downloadable coupon?

Miserere,
Thanks for your coverage of the show.
I read your synopsis of the conversation with Ned B.
My only quarrel is with the $1,600 price holding up for the K-5.
I'm pleased to report a $100 rebate is now available with purchase!
That's a bonus.
Regards, Bob S.

As long as there are Limited lenses, bodies will support screwdrive
focus. Maybe Pentax will go the Nikon route and only offer screwdrive
support in their upper tier bodies.
I don't think this should be a concern for us at the moment; it's a
bit like not buying anything plastic because a plastic-eating
bacteria
might appear in the next few years :-)
It makes a lot of sense to move away from screwdrive focus for new
lenses that can fit it. Leica are the only ones who can make money by
looking at the past, the rest of the companies have to look at the
future.
I doubt a Pentax MILC would support screwdrive AF, and I don't
care. I
want new primes designed specifically for the MILC and an adapter
offering auto stop down for K mount lenses (like Sony offer).
As for the me-too issue, I told Ned I would love a Pentax NX10--a
Samsung NX10 with a Sony sensor and Pentax imaging pipeline. He just
smiled at me :-)
Oh, and John Carlson said he really enjoyed his GFM experience and
sent a hello to the list.

I doubt that Pentax will support screw drive forever. It doesn't
make
sense economically. That's why I stopped buying FA and F glass
several
years ago. Now I have only the FA 50 and FA 35, both of which I
rarely
use. However, I suspect that there will be a couple more
generations
of DSLR cameras with screw drive. It's not an immediate problem.

There is something that bothers me slightly. It is the mention of
the fact
that all future DA lenses except DA Limiteds will not be driven by
screwdriver autofocus. It seems to make perfect sense as a
prerequisite to
introduction of EVIL camera. The converter to KAF4 (?) mount would
only have
to provide electric contacts and no mechanical coupling might be
necessary.
Or the coupling could be minimal.
Yet it is a bit unsettling for those who have lots of "legacy"
glass...

Well done. Especially the time travel part, where you were able
to
leap
