This is the > target for the *ist. No way. The MZ-60 or MZ-30 are the cameras you're talking about. First time slr buyers don't buy the cameras packed with features - like the *ist. Beginners often buy them with lenses like 28-200 and that's a starting point for them... This is completely different market. Almost none of such buyers cares for features like P-TTL, HSS, wireless control, Servo AF, spot metering, MLU, even DOFp. Zounds of the AF sensors are unnecessary for them too. They usually need something inexpensive and fully automated - over time their needs change of course, but that's what they need at the beginning. Pentax filled its base class SLR segment too much. They don't have room for anything below the *ist, unless they call it "the camera for monkeys" Regards Artur
