Finally, a decent mid level Pentax. (Well the K30/50 were fine too)
I hated the K-S1, all those fancy lights, seemed to me it was aimed at teenage girls in Japan. The next iteration is coming with *some* lights, but not the glaring nonsense of the first, and it also gains a twisty screen, which I've been hoping for, for years, environmental sealing, and a compact 18-50mm lens. Looking good. Lets see how it pans out in the end.
In the meantime I have committed to buying a second hand K200D and something in me has gone "whew. At last!" I should have it in 3 weeks or so, the seller is overseas at the moment but will be returning next week. The deal will be done then. At $175 shipped, with a battery grip and only 5800 shutter actuations, should be good. AND, I finally get my CCD sensor back
