I don't think the istD is going to be as good at landscapes as film, but I also don't think 35mm film is much good for landscapes. I prefer larger sheets of film. The digital does really well with images that have large sweeps of not too much detail, but as soon as you get into a subject with very fine detail, the image starts to look artificial. I am looking forward to using the istD for portraits, but i am also looking forward to having my darkroom back on line for 4x5 sheet film. William Robb
