Olympus Optical Company, plans in October to release its E-1 digitalS.L.R. camera, which is expected to sell for less than 100,000 yen ($847.17), making it the cheapest digital S.L.R. camera on the market."
I suspect this would greatly enhance *ist D sales (if Pentax actually releases it), especially to the new customers that don't have older Pentax lenses. Those with older Pentax lenses were already taken care of with the new lens mount.
The more you look at it, the wiser Pentax seems to be.
