All the mock-ups we've seen have had the two-wheel control layout. I'm pretty sure that the interview with the Pentax high-up mentioned a vertical grip, as well. The only unanswered question that I'm bothered about is whether it manages 4fps or better for at least 2 frames. Other things (PC socket, USM focussing, ...) interest me, but not enough to affect a decision on whether or not to buy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
