Let's keep in mind that this is a Pre-Production model and that Pentax did not include any manuals to Phil Askey for review so he may have missed some functionality.
On the plus side from what I've seen: excellent metering range; RAW mode; size and weight; 200 ISO (makes the F4 lenses make more sense), can use some of the old lenses. On the negative side: no price associated at time of writing, no samples provided (probably due to pre-production model), no "on sale by" date (i.e. still in pre-production) Let's hope Pentax gets their a$$ in gear and gets the product on the shelves before Fuji announce their S3 (full frame) or Canon announce their 20D (upgrade from the 10D).
