I visited my favorite local camera store here in Central New Jersey, USA, last night. They finally received the long-pomised *istd, and called me to let me know.
I really liked the feel and operation of the camera. The price, $1375 for body only, didn't seem out of line. Still I hesitate. Will the price come down in the near future? Will Pentax come out with an upgraded version soon, as they did to me with the Optio S earlier this year? Is it really worth all that money? Will I need to buy a new lens right away to take full advantage of its capabilities? Decision, decisions.
