But I see the *ist as a promise for greater things to come. At this stage, I'm not interrested in getting one. I await the true MZ-5n/MZ-3 successor. I might get one as a replacement for my broken MZ-10, but I might as well get a MZ-6 at a low price.
Best wishes Roland

It is a tribute to the importance of digital in Pentax's future that so little has been said on the list about the *ist (non-D, to be precise). Here we have a radically new camera design which is trickling out to magazines (how many read Herb Keppler's assessment?) and even into select stores. Yet, so little discussion about it...
Even the astonishing news about the new SAFOX VIII has been discussed very little (which is the more surprising since I suppose it will feature in the D version as well).
What gives - no interest in film bodies? Admittedly it will be positioned as a lower-middle class (like me!) item, but is anyone else happy to see Pentax at the technological lead in a price point for the first time since the PZ-1p? Anyone planning on getting one? Anyone eager for news of what is next in the series (such as a true PZ-1p successor and Maxxum 7 killer)?
Anyhow, I was thinking the *ist + 43/1.9 would make a neat little package.
