If you read my entire response, I did mention that setting quality level on the 20D was a negative. There are also other negatives as well. And I was very positive with control layout of the *ist D. So what's your problem?

There are also other negatives as well. And I was very positive with my praise of the control layout of the *ist D. I guess I just don't like people writing negative things about cameras they know nothing about, Pentax or otherwise. The original statement that the *ist D was more like a computer than a "real" camera - whatever that eans - was ludicrous.
