Re: *istD-flaws

My card slot was quite fiddly upon receipt of the camera.  After break-in 
however, it's not an issue at all.  You DO have to be sure to have the strap 
in the right position to get the door open but so what?

I use the shot review and would like to have the histogram review be a 
little easier to access.  Highlight warning sounds nice.  I'm living quite 
happily without it though.

about to brave the ice storm to provide audio support for a marching band 
competition....go figure.

A Luminous Landscape review from 2003 maintains the following:
"Regrettably Pentax has missed the mark with the *ist D ... they can't
ignore ... two serious flaws < a highly problematic card compartment and
the lack of a histogram and highlight alert in post-exposure review mode
(only on subsequent image playback, but not right after taking the shot)
... 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?
