I don't know if the -DS I've got is much different than the -D, but I
know a few things where the crippled mount falls flat. The biggest is
flash... pretty much stuck with manual. The other ones are less
important... matrix metering, etc.
The *ist-D does TTL flash very nicely, either with the built in flash or an
AF200T or AF280T. Well as long as you make sure to set the sensitivity to
ISO 400. I've noticed a lot more variation at other ISOs
Ah yes... my bad. I just got the TTL not being a subset of P-TTL
a few weeks ago. I forgot that the -D has TTL in the internal flash and
the -DS is only P-TTL. That would help the functionality with non-A
lenses.
