I see:

Dual card slots (SD+CF)
Weather sealing gaskets
D-LI50 battery? Same as K10/20D
Old Pentax logo

This camera looks like it has great ergonomics. I like that the left hand isn't needed for most functions...just how they engineered the K-m/K2000.

Like in my list above...I'm concerned about the logo. This should mean that the display model is still the original from 2004, and although functional, they still have under a year to hit their 2010 release...

The first link shows the old model, not the new model! The new model has two SD slots, for instance.
