As someone already answered, there is the K100D very similar in size to the DS, with SR (although it is supposed to be less sophisticated than the K10D one). So it seems that it is possible to do.
Actually, based on the recent comments, the K100D with SR and better AF than the Ds (and better in-camera jpgs!) sounds like an ideal camera for me...mmmmmm (viewfinder and buffer are worst, though) Regarding film...I recently shot a roll with my MZ-5n and 18-55, mostly @ 18mm, for fun, but I am afraid I am already too used to the digital workflow to go back to 35mm :-( ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Boris Liberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Enviado: jueves, 17 de mayo, 2007 5:58:55 Asunto: Re: Any one regret upgrading to the K10D? Well, yes, it helps, I cannot deny that. It is just that I think SR contributes significantly to the size of camera. I'd rather Pentax introduced more than on K10D-like models so that a consumer (a.k.a. me) could make their choices... I still shoot a bit of film with my MZ-6 and boy, it is light and small... And, mind you, it is full size 35 mm ;-). Boris Jaume Lahuerta wrote: > Oh, so you don't care about SR?
