I don't have any "inside contacts". I also don't think Pentax is doing a bad job of letting users know what they're planning ... I don't see any other companies producing an annual "Lens Roadmap". Nikon and Canon, the two leading makes in DSLR market share, don't tell users much at all until they're ready to ship a product. Regards 'high ISO' ... I'll evaluate the K10D when I have one in my hands. Speculating based on a pile of assumptions and rumors, looking at photos made with immature firmware smuggled out to the public, tells me nothing useful. You folks who keep pursuing this nonsense sure have a whole lot of spare time on your hands. As I said once before, if the damn thing totally sucks I'll know it in a day or three and I'll return it, then start planning my next camera system purchase. The *ist DS bodies and Pentax lenses I own now will continue to do a good job. Based on my experience with Pentax gear over the past year and a half, I don't think I'll have anything to worry about, however.
