I must admit, though, I'm probably the only person on the forum wanting the announcement to be 'no big deal'. I'm trying to save for a DA* 60-250mm and don't want to be tempted by a new body! :-)

Exactly, im holding out my funding till the new glass hits the shelf, i could always use my trustbucket of a K10 till the prices on the new body drop Still it would be a relief to put an end to all the guessing games lol.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing. I don't care about the new body, either. I just got the K10d and have no interest in another body. That 60-250 ... DA* 200 ... DA* 300 ...
Hmm , I sold my C XT one year ago so I could get the K10D , never bought it .
I decided to wait for the next generation of K10d in the hopes I will be impressed .
We will see , huh ?
I may just get a older ist DL

He,he,he, I said the same thing last year. I was happy with a pair of DSs. I had no intention of buying a K10D. So what happened? I was the 5th pre-order from B&H, on the day Pentax announced the camera . Don't ask me why. I don't know, I just did it. I think it is a Pentax thing (kind of like a Jeep thing). So be forewarned. You can say you won't buy it now, but come that fateful day in January, ........... well, we'll see, won't we.
I don't know how I will respond to the new Pentax camera.
If it is as much better as it is whispered here on the forum, I might not be able to resist...
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND TO ALL A LONG WAIT.
Now that I have the body I wanted (Pentax that is) I have found new ways to improve my wish list for the year.
Some new (or used) lenses are in order.
And of course places to shoot.
New 20XDVD/CD burner with lightscribe.
and I found a great source for 8gb scandisk cards ($44.00 ea. with a $10.00 rebate total $33.00)
And yes a new Hard Drive may very well be needed (wanted ) (brings my total storage space to 2TB.)
Happy new year from my little corner in Canada. I hope everyone and their families will have a heathy and fun 2008. As the new Pentax gear gets shipped, I am sure the excitement level will grow here.
My istDs has turned 53,000 clicks but has slowed down as I am not using it for work any more. Looking forward to compliment my camera equipment with the new K20D, or just some new beautiful long glass...
