I'm really interested in why such subtleties seem to carry such weight. Firstly 
the differences seem really minimal to me and are noted by the reviewer as 
such. Secondly in both comparative cases I prefer the Pentax image, I see more 
accurate colour, less noise in the areas of low detail and less sharpening 
artifacts. The only thing that really bothers me is the stepping visible in the 
blow-up of the crayons. I'm not trying to stick-up for the Pentax I'm just 
calling it as I see it purely from an image quality perspective.

In what image quality areas do you see the other cameras being superior to the 
*ist D?
