I can certaiinly live with both: 1) The problematic card compartment means, it's a little trickey to get the car out. And the compartment door sometimes gets caught in the camera strap. It's all really a matter of habit. And I guess a rather tight card slot minimizes the risk of getting dirt and moitstur on the contacts.
2) I don't understand the fuzz about the histogram. It's there - post exposure. High light warning is missing, but I guss a realy reliable and critical judgment can not me preformed from the LCD, anyway. It's there only to give a rough clue about what's going on. I don't use instant replay anyway - I only play back if there's a special reason to do so. Pressing one more button is not a big deal for me. And I don't really miss the high light warning.

The latter can probably be fixed with a firmware upgrade. The CF card eject problem likely needs a body redesign" Has Pentax fixed these problems in later-produced bodies or through firmware upgrades? Peter Sweden
