And the continuous AF is selectable by the customer (in the menu) in P/A/S/M
modes, not only automatically set by Action Picture mode. Not so bad, after
all!

Just so it is clear now, Penta mirror is confirmed:
"Optical Viewfinder - Penta mirror with Natural-Bright-Matte II focusing
screen"
Same size as the *istDS; 1.2oz lighter (mostly due to the pentamirror,
presumably...)
*with* DOF preview.
From the detailed specs, I can only see three changes wrt the *istDS -
pentamirror, larger LCD, fewer focussing points. Although they do claim
an "auto" ISO mode. Dunno if that's just the low-light ISO boost that the
DS offers via a custom function or not.
