If it has that much understanding of the situation, why do you need to press the button at all - just arrange so it takes photos as seems appropriate.

I think I've just talked myself out of that sort of thing at all.

That's what the mysterious button is for.

Let us put that list on the wall and see when industry catches up to that standard..have to be careful what one ask for

On second reading of the specs the weight seems a little light on.
At about a quarter of the weight of my Sig 150-500 it might feel a little unbalanced.

No, don’t...when these specs don’t turn out to be real, other sites will chalk it up as another Pentax failure

So, we went from being a photography/camera forum to a chemistry one?

Apparently no, hence the mistake.

By the end of December, it will be hard find a topics that haven't been covered in this forum. Most of it unrelated to photography and camera equipment. Mark my words...

You missed out the most important spec for Pentaxians:

MRSP $295.00

Sounds like they're getting close to the ultimate digital camera: uses GPS to detect where you are, then consults a database of photos taken at that spot before to decide which composition will get the most "likes". Then it uses a gyrostabiliser and force feedback to position your hands or the tripod correctly for the shot, and will refuse to fire the shutter if you try to shoot from any other angle.

I almost added a

at the end of that. But on second thoughts I'll go for a

, because I've suddenly realised the inevitability of a camera like that actually coming along someday.
