Hold out for the Pentax! I wouldn't want to see anyone lose their kit and downgrade their glass!
And speaking of big knobs and levers and gloves.... I was in chicago over the holidays and had both the LX ;-) and MX with me. Because it was below freezing I had big thick gloves on and didn't even realize I was wearing them while shooting outdoor photos. Watching other people with "other" equipment take their gloves off, set camera, snap photo and put gloves back on made me smile (or wink!). To be honest i had to remove gloves when rewinding so that I could press the rewind button but thankfully I only had to do that while inside. And one last thing: I live in the Washington DC area and go to the Smithsonian Institution which is free. In Chicago I spent a morning at the Field Museum of Natural History and absolutely loved it. Sure it's US$8.00 but soooo much better than the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum. Highly recommend it! I took tons of photos of Sue (the Tyrnnasuarus rex) in both color (Provia 400) and for the first time ever B&W (Tri-X).

I am ready to pre-order if the MX-D comes in at D30 money. Maybe a bit beyond, Fuji S1 territory. Beyond that, I'm more cautious. <snip> I find these tiny digi cams so small that my big fingers just get all muddled up on them. Forget gloves! I like these things with great big knobs and levers on them in arranged in a fool-proof manner (ha!), and most 'professional' (ahem) gear accommodates this desire. I had an RB67 once upon a time ;-) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
