I'd like the tethering solution as well. I'm sure it's on the way. Pentax autofocus could still be improved, although the k-5 autofocus is much better than that of previous models. I don't care about extraneous crap like GPS or even video. Although if we are going to have video, I'd like it to include an autofocus function. Don't want a live view camera. After more than 40 years of SLRs, a new way of shooting isn't something I'd ever consider. Plus, I prefer having a diopter adjustment to having to wear glasses when shooting. Paul
