I ordered one from Pixmania last week but they I'm living in Germany and ordered it from Foto Koch (www.fotokoch.de).

I'm quite sure that the GS appears soon. It has a good price and might be a real cash cow for Pentax in the christmas business. I don't remeber the S30 prices, but wouldn't a 330RS or even a 430RS an alternative? They provide many manual functions. >Of course, I ordered a 128 meg CF card and a CF reader (so the USB problem >wouldn't have affected me anyway) and they are here. Nice card - shame >there's no camera to go with it... I keep my fingers crossed for you... Regards, Heiko
