www.digitalpreview.com has quite a few people discussing the new *ist-D. Generally the response is positive. Most think this is a good move by Pentax. They feel that it's tiny size & if it's priced about $1000, it will be a hit. Don't forget that Pentax maybe be hitting a lower price point that is vacant at the moment. Also there's ton's of cheap used Pentax glass & this will help it too. As discussed on this list also, people won't be dumping their high-end Nikon's & Canon's for this. However the *ist-D may draw the serious amateurs who were not even considering digital to buy this camera, even if they are using another brand (???)
Also on that web page is the new D10 from Canon. It's priced at $1500 (street est.) and has a new magnesium shell. Again, this may keep the *ist-D price lower than anticipated OR they get a 10MP chip???? Peter __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
