OTOH... if one would take an EOS 5D (as way of example because it's twice
the MP), and put a *high quality Canon* lens on it that is equal in focal
length (crop factor considered) and aperture, to what is on the *ist D, and
take a photo, side-by-side, both tripod mounted... all things otherwise
equal, I wonder what one would discover.
Sure it's apples to oranges... but that's kind of the point in some ways.
If you want apples but can only buy oranges...
Going OT... I remember the Brownie Hawkeye with (620?) I used as a child. I
remember one picture in particular my father took with the same camera... of
Mt. Shasta. The camera was sitting on the roof of the car (a '59 Ford
wagon) and the photo was taken at the onset of evening twilight. Must have
been 1967. That time exposure, and the one sentence explanation of what he
was doing, has alway stuck with me. I'd love to have the negative and get
it scanned. I'm sure the print still exists.

I love the look of my Pentax lenses too, but short of doing some Canon
lens
mount butchery they really aren't being taken full advantage of due to
Pentax's
poor offerings.
Here we disagree. The istD is hardly a poor offering imaging wise.
