Neither of which were the big bodies, which were the 1D, 1Ds, D1X and D1H respectively. From the leaks we've seen so far, I'm expecting something similar to the D70 replacement, but with a grip and PC Sync. A step up from the A100 or Rebel XT, but not a 30D or D200 equivalent. If there is a coming K1D, I'd expect a 30D or D200 equivalent rather than a full-on pro body, which Pentax hasn't offered in 35mm form since the LX (The PZ-1p and MZ-S are excellent bodies, but more in the EOS 5/3 or F90x/F100 area than a EOS 1 or F4/F5) -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
