Going to the 10Mpix sensor used in the K10D seems like a downgrade in many respects. If this part of the rumor is true, I hope they have something to compensate for the increased noise -- next iteration of the sensor itself, or maybe better surrounding electronics. It'd be unfortunate to have ISO 1600 be the (noisy) maximum.

Well, its not an altered photo of a k10D. The MF/AF switch is entirely different. Given that the K10D has superb ergonomics its not so surprising that the exterior would be little changed. I have to believe that there's more improvements over the stated specifications.

please pentax, fix the autofocus!! the autofocus of my ist *dl (and k100 and even k10d, to some extent) is really crappy in low light. if this new generation doesn't address this, i'm going to be forced to switch to canon or nikon. what good is a DSLR if you miss shots indoors?!
