I do wish the Pentax were more like the Sony, but not enough to stray.....

Some nice Zeissy glass on the list to go with the 10MP. And of course a full frame version rumoured. There are an awful lot of 35mm lenses in their line up. I figure, if I ever get a DSLR, I don't owe any allegiance to the old school (Japanese)camera companies.

Thanks. I bought one Saturday. I like it immensely. The anti-shake really works, effectively giving me at least two more stops without affecting the dof. The larger lcd on the back makes for easier viewing. You can rotate images in camera. The VF is a tiny bit smaller than, but just as bright as the ist Ds. All the stuff I posted today was shot with it.
