(If it did, the press releases would be mentioning it.)Well, that just about kills my interest in this model, but I suppose the retro look will be enough for most. And seriously, I don't begrudge Pentax (OK, Hoya) any $$ they make with it. It's just not for me. OK, it appears it doesn’t have the electronic viewfinder, as I had hoped.

If this compact camera looks like the Auto 110 and is called I-10, it has nothing to do with marketing and all with stabilizing system design.

It's the slow lens that it looks like it has that is going to let it down. SR,... maybe the reason for the body design is only to house a proper stabilizing system rather than actually doing anything too out of the ordinary.

So does it have an electronic viewfinder, or are you stuck with the tiresome old "hold it out at arm's length" rain dance? Nice retro styling on the I-10.
