The thing that gets me is that P�l is flooding the list with his, er, "idiosyncratic" opinion, and drowning out a more reasoned reaction--which is that the *ist D is a really swell looking little camera, a lot nicer looking than the plastic *ist in my opinion. It looks "the business" to me, as our British cousins would say. I think they hit a home run with the looks of the thing. I would certainly not be ashamed to be seen with it. --Mike
