Lets hope not... We have enough trouble with mz/zx etc... > The camera is supposedly entry level and very compact. Auto 110 anybody? Seriously, this statement is a little strange. I think we had all expected it to be 'mid-level'. Its not going to be an MZ-60 type thing is it?? I always though it a little strange anyway that Pentax designed a totally new body style for this camera, only to use it for one body. I still wonder if some of the styling cues will come from this 'experiment'. It must at least represent some of the ideas going through the development department at that time?
