Pentax is pitching its new SLR right at the bottom end of the market. Have corners have been cut?

Good Points

Easy to understand controls. Help button very useful. Information on the LCD very comprehensive - but see below Build quality very good. Price, with discount and 'free' second lens, exceptional

Bad Points

Have yet to work out how to have image visible on the LCD rather than the information
