No. That on the DS seems much more positive than that on the D. Pentax do seem to be learning here, though. The switches on the latest pre-production K10D bodies (as seen at the Russian show) look to have changed to something much more like the one on the 645D prototype - visually (and, I hope, operationally) quite like the switches on the high-end Nikon bodies.
