".... Right now the *ist-D is a D100/10D clone. It's just smaller that's all. Big deal. The better have some great things under their sleeves."
Well, besides being smaller, and that is no minor achievement; it's certainly one of the reasons I bought my LX yrs ago over the competition and stayed with Pentax since, the viewfinder is bigger and brighter and the user interface is different. I also read Herb Keplers review of one of the optio series and he commented it had the best colour accuracy of any digital camera they have tested. So lets see what the product and results look like before we try to condemn. Certainly, as the market moves to digital, there are tremendous opportunities and Pentax doesn't have to be the PJ's camera of choice to achieve the market share they are talking about. My $0.02 worth.... Cheers.
