*istDS for sale in Krakow!

[Jon Glass]

Last night, I was in our local MediaMart (European chain of electronics 
stores), just to see what digital cameras they have.  There, next to 
the Nikon D70, was a Pentax *istDS! I was amazed! What's more, it was 
obviously _tiny_ sitting there, next to the D70 and other cameras. I 
was shocked at how small the body is! It is as small, or smaller than, 
many digicams as well! Unfortunately, its price was listed as 4,999 zl, 
which equals $1700 at last Friday's exchange rate! (The _really_ sad 
part is that just a few months ago, with the exchange rate, it would 
have cost a mere $1,300!!!). The only good part is that the Nikon D70 
is the exact same price. :-) In any case, other than compact digicams, 
or very exclusive camera stores, this is the first time I've seen a 
Pentax dSLR.

Just had to share....
