Once again, you don't know how easy it is to operate the *istD because you haven't tried it. It sounded complicated to me as well, but I've found it to be very intuitive. Try it, you'll like it.

KX and MX are not AE cameras so the *istD AE may be easier than the KX or MX, but the *istD metered manual mode cant be as good as the KX or MX because those cameras offer open aperture metered manual ON THE FLY realtime continously, JCO

It does what amounts to aperture priority with a simple push of the green button. It will set the shutter speed automatically, so you really have only one motion to complete, pushing the button. I don't understand why some feel this is difficult. I do it in situations with constantly changing exposure and have never experienced a problem or felt inconvenienced.
As has been pointed out by others, using K and M lenses on the ist-D is much simpler than using K and M lenses on a KX or MX - cameras for which these lenses were originally intended.
Anyone who has difficulty using K/M lenses on an ist-D needs to get out and practice manual shooting with an MX, K1000 or Spotmatic.
