Hi guys, I still get the "impression" that Pentax wants to do away the optical viewfinder and all the "bother" of phase detect AF mirrors and the like, I know that to strip down and re-calibrate a K20 took the best part of a day,I returned mine 3 times,you can see how much that cost Pentax.I downloaded the service manuel,dial guages and all sorts of special tools and time taking procedures. The service departments take quite a while to get on top of a new model, I know someone who worked there. Mirrorless is so much easier to set up, less problems with screen/mirror/focus module/tilted image/back/front/focus and all the tra la la! It's just that I was hoping for a DSLR. Hey maybe I'm becoming old and decrepit, I've seen so many systems come and go over the years with everybody's money flying out of the window and I'm just not going to spend a whole lot more. I don't want new lens systems with focusing hyperdrives and nine speed gearboxes that have incompatibility problems! Well, one thing I know is that I'm not taking pictures through rose coloured Takumars! Dave's clichés Always a P.S. Strong rumour production of the K5 stops in May 2012. Oh, and Hi Klaus, belated birthday wishes
