"The camera body will be available at a competitive sticker price of $699/£599 while the 18-50mm lens kit will retail for $799/£699.  It is expected to start shipping in April."
 
"The K-S2 is being marketed as the "world's smallest dust-proof, weather-resistant DSLR camera"."
 
For the colour haters/loves (scroll to bottom of link):
"The Pentax K-S2 will be available in a total of 10 different colors: 3 standard variants, 3 as part of a special "nature collection", and 4 as part of a special "sport collection"."

Two versions of the 18-50mm collapsible lens, one for aftermarket, one for kit only.

The HD version includes better coatings, quick-shift focusing, (minimalist) hood vs the SMC version.   Unfortunately both have plastic mounts.  On the other hand both are WR (weather resistant).

 

158g, quite light....

 

MTF's in the link.
