I certainly shan't be getting one. I'm pleased to see it's still got a rigid metal chassis (presumably the same internals as the *ist-D), and the larger, higher-resolution LCD woud be nice. For the rest of it, though, I'll stick with the *ist-D. Trading off my hyper-program mode for a set of auto-picture modes doesn't appeal one whit. I care less about the TIFF or the low-resolution modes, and I'm not too tempted by the extra range of the controls; if I care, I'll shoot raw. I'd like the extra buffer size, but not enough to got to a body that uses incompatible media.
