We have yet to see image quality results. As for features it looks like a 10D or D100. I agree that Pentax needs to offer USM and IS lenses, but that's been a fundamental issue with Pentax since the beginning of time (or at least when Canon and Nikon were doing it). what I don't understand (not from you, Don, but from other posts) is that everyone is ready to run out and buy a 10D because the *ist-D is not compatible with K and M lenses. Well guess what? Neither are the offerings from Canon and Nikon. You'll still need to replace ALL your lenses, right Tom and Cotty? I played with Tom's 10D and another friend's D100 and they are amazing pieces of equipment but I can't afford to replace my lenses for an EOS or Nikon mount. So, when anyone is ready to dump Pentax, I'd like first crack at their A and FA lenses! Christian
