Re: *istD and the future (WAS: Re: Digital Formats and Partial Coverage Lenses)

Consider similar products like 10D & D100 have been around for some time, 1 
year seem generous indeed. However, Pentax have the tendency to slowly 
update their products and Pentax users are used to hold on to their cameras 
longer. *ist D users might be satisfied a little longer than Canon or Nikon 
users.

I guess the basis is the whole line-up. Basically, they have promised a 
novice DSLR, the *istD and a pro DSLR. The 20% is supposedly achieved by 
2005 which means that these products should be here within a year. I also 
expect the *istD to have a life-span of 1 year at the most (I'm probably 
being generous).
