I've been waiting for a Pentax rebate since June of 04. As most of you know, our favorite camera manufacturer promised a $200 rebate if one purchased the *istD in combinastion with the DA 16-45/4. To date, it seems that most who have received their rebate did so only after complaining vociferously. I haven't said a word yet and haven't received a single dollar. I e-mailed Pentax today. Let's see what happens. However, the business practices of the mother ship are somewhat disheartneing. I will report back. paul
