I have very large hands, but I  haven't had any problems so far (except
see below) - though I haven't tried with gloves on yet.

>>Go without gloves.  You must suffer for your art.

 Does anyone know the dynamic range of the sensor compared with
transparency film?
>>The most common estimate I hear is 5-6 stops.

I've installed the firmware upgrade (I held off on buying the *istD
until I
could use my non-A lenses) and this works well, although whether I'll
always
remember to press the green button is debatable. Am I right in thinking
that
if I use A-type lenses off 'A' I can only use them on M and also have
to
press the green button?

>> A lenses don't need the green button as long as you keep them on the
A setting.  You can use P, Av, Tv, etc. . . .

Another feature I'd like is the option for a histogram in the instant
review - the Fuji S2 I use at work has this option and I find it very
useful
to glance at the LCD after I've taken the picture without having to
enter
review mode.

>> This would be good.   A Recent Luminous landscape article talked
about the best exposure being the histogram pushed up against (but not
off of) the highlight end of the scale.  I'm trying to use the histogram
more when I have the time.

I apologize if these questions have already come up, but I only rarely
find
time to read more than a few postings to this list.

>> Amen, brother.  Sometimes it's like trying to take a drink from a
fire hydrant.

Cheers

Andy
