Pentax *ist D from the show floor
PMA
2003, Live: Yesterday we got our hands on the very early prototype
Pentax *ist D digital SLR which is being shown at the Pentax stand. This
is a bit of a 'me too' article as we note that several other sites have
also posted their own images of this camera. At this stage the camera
is still in an early form, although does power up. The first thing that
strikes you about this camera is its size and weight, it's noticeably
smaller than the current digital SLR's (Canon EOS-D60 / 10D, Nikon D100),
it's also clear that although loosely based on the *ist film SLR this
body and control layout has been design to be digital from day one. We're
looking forward to testing the *ist D, and hope that it can proove to
be some real competition to the Canon and Nikon offerings. We also heard
a rumour (not at the Pentax stand) that it will have a street price of
US$1,600.

Phil: Apologies for the relatively poor quality
of these images (compared to our norm), as you can imagine available lighting
is limited. |
