Thanks! Considering that my last film based SLRs were an LX and MX, I'd say that the operation of the ist-d is completely new and diferent to me! That said, I'm a resourceful, intelligent person so learning the new interface (mainly, using the lens on "A" and spinning a wheel to change aperture) was not a problem. after five minutes of playing it was second-nature. The viewfinder is awesome, so I'm not missing the LX. For my style of shooting, RAW is the only way to go. Using PPL is very easy and intuitive. I still haven't read the manual. Christian
