This doesn't surprise me in the least. Pentax marketing is failing, the
*ist-Ds and DL should be naturals
for this market. Why is Nikon better, the D70 is a nice enough camera
but no better for this than the Ds...

Not picking sides at all here - I was talking to a friend of mine the
other day. She is well connected with the scrapbook world. It is far
bigger than you might think. Anyway, she said that everyone she knows
are getting Nikon D70's and they are being recommended in the
scrapbooking circles. The reason is that digital P&S has significant
problems with shutter lag and focus tracking. So surprisingly, many
newbies are buying DSLR's without the slightest knowledge of how to
use them effectively. Pretty much they use the kit zoom that came
with it (and maybe one long consumer zoom) and set everything to the
automatic green mode and shoot away.
Just some info that might prove interesting.
