I found the multi-segment metering in the ist-D to be very good - I
started using it even though I'd been a lifelong
centerweighted-metering photographer up until then.
But I've found the multi-segment metering in the K10D to be even
better. I hardly ever use centerweighted any more.
Jens,
I've done this right a 1000 times. And the strategy for a (too) bright sky
sky IS the same as for a backlit scenry.
And - so why does the *ist D do the exact scenery right (not over
compensating)?

Of course, you're testing just one sample of K10D against one sample
of *ist D bodies, but I thought that's what you were after.
You can make the exact same test regardless of time, if you work with

That's a good point, Godfrey.
You are right of course. I alrady had the card, when I got the camera -
