I'll see if I can find out about the battery. He didn't call it the K10D, he called it the ten megapixel Pentax DSLR that's coming out in the fall.

What did you want to know? I can ask, though specific feature questions may be subject to change ----- Great, Aaron. My big question right now is whether it requires a proprietary rechargeable battery. Or is there a way to put throwaway batteries in it? There's a big fuss about this over at dpreview. A Swedish newspaper reported that it takes a proprietary battery like the Nikon D200. This made me unhappy because sometimes I shoot in places that don't have electricity -- like my work in the Sahel of Mali, or just a domestic camping trip. So it really is called the K10D? Thanks much.
