Yes, it is great. Pentax has maximized their investment in the D by
releasing a number of variants intended to boost sales. Or would you
prefer they just lose money on every camera they develop? This is a
company playing catching up, and they're playing it smart. They'll
probably never reach the frontrunners, but if they can remain a few
steps behind and develop some new pieces, I'll be happy. Those who will
not be happy should got to a maker who can make them happy. It's really
quite simple.

This is just buzz marketing. It's a new version of the DL, a minor

and it's nothing to wring one's hands over. The sky isn't falling.
Oh great, yet another *ist-D variant that's hardly any different from
the others.
