Looks like it could be good, to me, if they got the ergo right. Looks like it has plenty of dials and set-by-feel switches and such, details being pretty important there.
The kind of thing I'd have been looking for when going digital, myself: Canon seeming to have been in no hurry to put out an FD-mount digital, It was down to pairing some Nikon with like an FE or FE2, or Pentax with like an LX or something. It looks like the specs don't match the price, but if money weren't an object they might suffice for my own purposes.
I do wonder if they might not just as well have put a more full-sized foregrip on there for battery purposes, though.
Originally posted by konraDarnok Supporting a cable release is flatly ridiculous, and the mess of anonymous switches is not indicative of good design.
I always considered that to be an omission I missed about moern cameras, actually, one reason I'm with Pentax in the first place is I don't want engineers telling me what basics I don't need. Like, say, a plain old fashioned pc jack for flash.
Think double cable release on a bellows, or a bunch of old flash brackets one might have gotten used to in the old days. May not come up a lot, but what's the harm in having the threaded bit, really, can save a lot of elaborate workarounds.
