Competitive yes, but cheap? Pentax must know that theres a built up demand for a K-mount DSLR and many stand in line waiting for it. It make no sense to my mind for Pentax to sell the *ist D cheap, at least intially, as there are so many who will buy it almost regardless. I suppose to be contrary, there is no indication that it will be expensive either. They will have to price it to be competitive with the competing brands. Otherwise, all they can hope to sell is the handfull that us PDML types are lining up for. William Robb
