As they strip features out of the body, manual control seems to be short
changed these days.

Control? Please elaborate ... what control does one give up?

Many good points Shel, however the control aspect is what seems to be
what is lost, first...

This little dialogue brings up an interesting, to me, point. First, I
would have no qualms about giving up features (like a built-in toaster
oven
and wide screen TV) that are found in many "pro" cameras for a simplified
feature set and a smaller, lighter, easier-to-carry simpler to operate
camera, whether film or digital. [...]
But that's just me ... or is it? From what I've seen there are quite a
few
istD owners here who use their cameras pretty much like standard manual
cameras most of the time, sometimes with a concession to auto focus, and
rarely use many of the modes and features and options. Maybe the Pentax
Way really is to simpler, smaller, lighter, more basic cameras that
produce
good photos.

You mean their customers asked to change the mount?

And said that they wanted to own great, back-crippling, lumps of camera
that wake you up in the morning, turn the shower on, make you a cup of
tea and tell you what a _wonderful_ photographer you are?
Probably....
