True, except I didn't write what you quoted me for - and the D100 was not the top of the line Nikon DSLR. Nikon users had other options for upgrading. Other than that, I agree with Sylwek, except I don't expect Pentax to release a camera like that any day soon. I doubt Pentax will release a 645D and a *ist D2 at the same time.

Well, if *istD successor would show up this year it would be similar time as Nikon user's had to wait for D100 successor - D200. And I hope *istD2 (whatever) will be similar in specs to D200 - much faster AF (especially in low light), bigger buffer, 10MPix, full K-lenses compatibility... It doesn't even have to be weather sealed if it would be 400$ cheaper than D200 ;-) -- Balance is the ultimate good... Best Regards Sylwek
