Re: IstD vs IstDS

[Peter J. Alling]

Since I like my camera bodies to have identical controls I'd veto the 
*ist-Ds as it seems to have significant handling differences if you use 
it in anything other than in "green" program mode.  In addition it uses 
CF cards as opposed to SD cards, which will complicate your life with 
another media.  Part of a backup is being able to use the same recoding 
media.

I'm in need for a second body guys and didn't really take much notice when
the IstDS was released - can someone give me a quick run down and some views
as to whether it would be a suitable backup for my Ist D or should I just
buy a second IstD?
Thanks in advance!

while but I missed you
all so I am back.  Having been out of the loop for a while I need to
ask, what is PESO?  Well, I'm looking forward to some great discussions.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
