Anyway, am quite surprised by Pentax, quietly launching this without much fanfare, at least not here in Spore.

But this is after a whole year of them showing a prototype full-frame unnamed DSLR at trade shows, and then announcing that they will drop the idea totally! Pentax users have been waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and the next thing they announce - APS-sized sensor DSLR. Duh!
They probably didn't want to have internal competition between their 35mm DSLR vs medium format digital backs... and from the looks of it, Pentax might be attempting to bridge the gap between their medium format offerings and their 35mm format offerings. Only time (and the future models of the *ist family) will tell!

I got no idea on Minolta's plans... apparently they will do what Pentax had - launch cheaper alternatives to full-frame sensors whenn the market for DSLR settles. We can keep our eyes peeled for it when they eventually launch the Maxxum Digital (or whatever it's going to be called!)...
