this is one sweeeeet camera, I read all the hype, and all the negative, and all I can is Pentaxians are once again smiling. This is not for fooling around. The picture quaitly is just stunning, and I have owned high end Nikons, and Canons. This is hankd down the leader and the one to beat in high end rugger catergory.
The control that thiscamera offers, and the human ergonomics are very fluid, especially for those like who venture into nature - finally I can take this baby on waterfal romps, and kayaking treks...
For the money, there is no comparison, and I am in the process of buying another Pentax.
