The *ist just advances the film one frame at at time and rewinds at the end of the roll. I bought 3 of them in the past few years. With the battery grip it was a nice sized camera, compact but not too small,. The AF was pretty good (though focus points were clustered way too tightly). It is

So my opinion of the camera when released has been vindicated by someone else' experience. It's always nice to have your gut reaction, with no data at all, turn out to be true. It's too bad, it looked like it should be a nice camera. It had the same autofocus module as the *ist-D, better

Hello Steve, I have lived in Scotland while working for General Motors in Motherwell near Ardrie & Peterhead up North near the oilfields. The Scotts are "high thinking & simple living" type folks. Very un-materialistic and most of them are minimalists. Their stark lives are in contrast to that of

I've felt sorry for Britain and the kind of rhetoric that has been tossed around. Reminds me of the debate in my country in 1994, before our referendum. Back then it seemed that the less people actually knew, the more absolutist their arguments. And there was a lot of absolutism. I think it
