Re: ist-D Release Date - Australia

I thought I'd ask CR Kennedy the same questions;
release date - September/October
price - not yet set, but competitive with other 6mp cameras. Hopefully the
10D will have dropped in price by then because right now the only prices I
have seen have been over AUD$3000 which is to say US list, not street
prices. 
When the MZ-S was released the Aus list price was similar to the US list
price, but there was no drop to a steet price afterwards.

 Okay folks, enough of the news from the Cave.  I just got off the phone
 with Pentax USA and was informed that the release date for the ist D will
 be in 1 to 1 1/2 months.  That puts it out to us by mid August -early
 September.  He also told me the street price would be $1600 USD here in the
 US.

This is good, now lets see if it can beat the 10D in
sharpness and colour.

According to Pop Photo, even the Optio S beats the 10D in color.

How? More natural? More vivid? More saturated? Can't be all three, can it?
