"Less is more", is a hard concept to mass market (excluding bikinis and the like, of course). Pentax could add decoy bells and whistles in the form of buttons, sliders, and thumbwheels�even, perhaps, dancing led bargraphs. Put all the crap interface elements on a removable sleeve fitting the various bodies and, viola!, cameras that appeal to clutter junkies and Pentax fans. Current Pentax fans could pop the real bodies out of the useless sleeves and make a few bucks reselling them on eBay to ravers or something. Dan Scott
