But what about it's quality "feel"? I'd always seen the Pentax in print ads,
and it just seems to be another cheap, digital Rebel. Nothing special.

The main point however, is that I was handed both a Pentax *ist D and
and an E-1 at the same time. First time I'd ever seen the Pentax. Its
diminutive size and large viewfinder compared to the E-1 took me back
about 30 years to when I first started comparing the OM-1 with its Canon
and Nikon competition. I couldn't help but think that with Olympus's
heritage the *ist D is what Maitani would have designed.
A very beautiful little camera with no hope of an OM adapter and (like
the E-1) no image stabilization. Now I'm more confused than ever...
especially since Pentax has just whacked $500 off the price of a kit
composed of *ist D body and 16-45mm zoom (equiv. FOV approx. 24-70mm).
Bridge camera anyone?
