Wow, ISO6400 is, actually, usable! This is surprisingly looking much more promising that I had thought!

agree with Opethian. I just read that its a back lit sensor and a new processor, looking very promising indeed.

I think it looks pretty sexy and just needs a leather strap/ever-ready case

I dont like the idea of the other toy lenses at around £100+ each, think pentax should have made them quality primes instead, but thats just me. I guess the lenses they're thinking of are fine for their target market
