HI, HyperManual & spotmetering is IMO the best feature of any program SLR ever! Works wonders. Especially with fill-in flash set to -1.3 or even less fill. The HyperManual is Pentax's most useful asset for creative photography, including fast paced reportage. Being able to meter a midtone subject by spotmeter and instantly have the exposure adjusted to it, than change to another midtone subject if lighting/subject changes, and all this AT TOUCH OF ONE BUTTON (instead of fiddling with two separate wheels trying to match a bar reading of how many stops I am off the correct exp. like with Nikons or Canons), is most useful. Because it GIVES ME CONTROL, and AT FAST PACE.
Too bad I don't have the money for IstD (being way too expensive over here, compared to other DSLRs) :-(( Frantisek
