I'm of the opinion that the interface will be more like the *ist film camera. That one has no HyperManual mode - ie: no green button. Basically is it much closer to a SuperProgram but only has one dial. When in manual mode you have to hold in a button while spinning the dial for aperture and the dial alone for shutter. So implementing even the same interface would be difficult - they would probably have to use the DOF preview lever or something.
I really think that it will be just as crippled as the *ist Film body - basically no pre-A lenses at all, except for those that stop themselves down (screw mount and soft lenses). -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, August 16, 2004, 2:12:20 PM, you wrote: JA> If the baby had full compatibility with K and M mounts lenses, it would be JA> a slap in the face to all those who paid good money for the *ist D and had JA> lots of older lenses.
