I disagree with Pentax calling the *ist "entry level" - they may call it whatever they will but the specs alone say something else. And that means to me the "crippled mount" will be present in any future Pentax body except for the possible flagship. Much like in the Nikon camp...
REPLY: In each classes of camera feature levels are increasing with each new generatiopn. The *ist is at present the best specified entry level body. It won't be two years from now. Likewise, the Dynaxx 7, a mid level body, has more features than older high-end bodies. This how it works and always has. Pål
