It's an impressive specification, I hope the AF is better, from experience, if the AF is no better, then 5fps frame rate would be academic. I think I'll wait and see how it does in real world testing, especially the improved high ISO performance.

Strengths, as I see them: o Metal body shell o 4-channel sensor readout (faster; lower noise) o High-ISO performance (I've only got a K10D ..) o 100% viewfinder (0.92X) o 1/8000 top speed o 5+ fps, 14-frame buffer (40 frame for JPEG) o More dedicated controls o 3" 640x480 rear screen o Multi-Pattern metering (assuming the firmware is good) o Faster, more accurate AF (ditto) o Battery Grip can accept AAs. Weakness: o Only 1/180 flash sync? The Pz-1p managed 1/250. o Doesn't (apparently) share batteries with the K10D Don't care: o Live View o Low-temperature operation (how do the batteries do?) o Movie mode (only 720p, though) o In-camera image manipulation (including HDR) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
