Hi Well, there should be a difference in the field of veiw (*ist D cropping the image, righ?).
Did anyone try to take the same photografh with the same lens and 1) film body; 2) *ist D body. Then scan the film image (as good as possible) and then compare and post results - e.i. as a double PAW!

Well, I did not try it with each to an eye, but at the GFM Camera Clinic last year I checked out the Pentax Rep's sample *istD, and TV's 10D. The viewfinder image in the *istD was quite noticeably larger. Enough so that if I could buy a digital SLR the Canon would not even be in the running to me. -- Cotty wrote: > > When Jostein last visited and I got a hands-on with his *ist D, I tried a > *very* interesting experiment. > > *ist D with 28-70mm on, and D60 with 28-70mm on.
