Originally posted by RaduA I don't think Matjazz that any future dslr from Pentax will still have as main power source AA batteries.
Only Pentax makes AA dSLR cameras. I find it unlikely that they'll drop their unique feature.
Originally posted by RMabo pentaprism is too expensive and takes up too much space
Pentaprism isn't that much bigger (remember *Ist DS) and I doubt it would make more than 7% difference in price. I'm afraid that Pentax has decided to keep pentaprism reserved for upper class cameras. But now that we have three levels of cameras (Km, K200D, K20D) hope for pentaprism in AA mid range body is back.
