Technically, it seems very promising for future higher-end cameras.  But
they sure seemed to put a lot of effort and bragging into making it small,
which is something I can't really understand.  As long as you have a
typical zoom lens hanging on the front, it hardly matters how big the body
is.

   While the AF subsystem looks impressive, I'm terribly disappointed
   by the viewfinder. At 0.7x magnification manual focusing must be as
   accurate as p&s. No glass eye-piece is also very likely. I do hope
   this stuff is reserved for upper cameras in the line.

   As for the look, I find the design ...interesting. It seems Pentax
   maximized the use of the volume just as they did with the MZ-S. I
   remember I found the MZ-S quite ugly when it was first introduced,
   now I see it as the nicest SLR ever. To be honest, I'm glad it
   still has a SLR look. If the DSLR is to be based on the same
   chassis - I'm done with nightmares of klingon artifacts. ;o)
