Actually, they are trying to come up with a name for the new model that

Exactly. As I said it was released to compete with the D100 and 10D so
they wouldn't lose the advanced amateurs to other brands.
The D upgrade will not have too many

Pentax is not trying to keep customers with an upgrade path. They

It almost seems that the original *ist D was thrown out there to shut us
up. After all it was the feature-equivalent competitor of the then
advanced amateur level camera like the D100 and 10D. Problem is they
haven't given us a D200 or 20D competitor
and a *ist D2 at the same time.

I don't know that I'd agree. The -D is getting long in the tooth
and it shows it (small buffer, blindingly stupid waste of space in RAW

upgrade from any of the D
