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

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

In fact a simple picture of a 77mm Ltd...
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

They often do refurbished, warrantied Pentax cameras... but alas, not right now

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
