Key points I noticed:

* RAW in PEF or DNG
* RAW is 12-bit (shame it wasn't 16-bit having a 22-bit ADC)
* Playback include "Bright Portion" (about time!)
* Pentaprism
* ISO confirmation is in the viewfinder
* ISO warning in viewfinder
* Can shoot RAW+JPG
* 10 frame RAW buffer
* 3 frame per second in JPG up to capacity

Things I haven't (yet) found -
* Wireless flash with popup?
* Dynamic range settings?
* How many custom Whitebalance settings?

Did you try Curvemeister though?

This goes on the Filter menu and should work

Peter - ISO100 to 1600 will be absolutely perfect Don't forget that the SR gives "2.5-4 stops extra", so I reckon that makes it up to a riddiculous ISO rating for low light (like ISO25600)

It's going to be great with an f1.4 lens
And in fact, maybe that's why the 70mm is f2.4

Heeheee! Whooops!
Steve's Digicams is obviously jumping the gun a bit - the article has gone and it just says "Press Release - September 13, 2006".

Just as well I read the info before it went I'm in the queue All I can say is "WOW!"

But there was this link about test driving a Pentax - http://www.pentaxslr.com/testdrive

Just wish I could get my hands on one, especially in black

BTW, I think there is a great deal of "snobbery" when it comes to cameras. For instance, I can only imagine what the pro-with-full-1D-and-lenses thought of me with the "piddly little" *ist-D and 50mm/f1.4 the other day. But I don't care, 'cause I'm pretty sure my photos were better The more I use that lens, the more I love the results

I bought an *ist-DS from SRSMicrosystems (on ebay http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=srsmicrosyst... )
They often do refurbished, warrantied Pentax cameras... but alas, not right now

Just checked the Optio 50L manual

Page 77 has the specs, and it mentioned "Up to 1Gb". Some models have had updated firmware to support cards of 2Gb and the higher spec'd SDHC (4Gb+) - but I couldn't find anything on the 50L at the moment.

Sorry that isn't such good news

Not sure, but you may need a firmware update in the Optio to support larger cards
