Dear all,
With more and more features coming out from the specifications of the
impressive *ist, I am starting more and more to think of the idea that
Pentax will really put out a flagship camera this time.
*ist, already has almost 80-90% of the specification of MZ-S, is ranked as
mid-level in
Thanks Lawrence for the information.
From Pentax Japan's Flash *ist page, a picture of the back LCD panel
indicated the AF sensors pattern, which is:

But there is no indication on their individual sensitivity to horizontal and
vertical lines and there is no indication on cross-s
Dear all,
According to the Pentax Japan homepage, *ist is placed below MZ-S, MZ-3 and
MZ-5n, but above MZ-L(6), MZ-30, MZ-60, MZ-M.
http://www.pentax.co.jp/japan/product/camera/all-slr.html
Therefore, it is officially regarded as the mid model in the SLR lineup.

I recall Pentax shown the MZ-S and MZ-D in Photokina2000 and PMA2001. Then
they silently put out the Optio 330 in the Japan Camera Show 2001, just a

much higher impact and influence on Pentax than the MZ-S
