Other than its usage of SD cards rather than Compact Flash--I really dislike
the trend of SD cards all but phasing Compact Flash out (to wit: Nikon
converting to SD for all their point & shoot compacts)--but otherwise this
is looking like a real deal to consider. I have lusted after the D70 for
sometime (have a Coolpix 5700) but having just gotten the Coolpix 5700 in
May for $500 haven't made the leap. This one could be the one that does it.

There is AFAIK no official word from Pentax on this important issue.

According to Google, the majority (171) just drop the "*" and say
"ist" - while a minority (48) say "star-ist".

Yes, there is. It's pronounced "ist-dee."

I'm neither opponent or proponent for SD ... but at least they
are smaller and allow more efficient packaging of the camera...
I do find it irritating that these formats seem change ever so
quickly.
