When I was considering a DS2, the best price i could find was within about $100.00 of the K10D. Based on what we know about the 10, this is a very good price, especially since it come in under the Nikon D80 ;-)) I think a lot of current Pentax users are going to be very pleased with this camera

Weather-sealed body

2006-09-12 Thread Mike Hamilton
What is the purpose of a weather sealed body without any sealed lenses? I imagine that the two upcoming lenses (16-50/2.8 being one) will be weather sealed. If so, that's going to be an expensive lens, given the super-sonic motor and fast aperture... Perhaps Pentax's most expensive zoom?
