A big Yes. I have a ist D now for 6 months and pondered for maybe two years if I would make the switch, I didn't regret it for a second. I also got a 5400 minolta scanner to digitize my older films and I am not impressed with the scan workflow and scan quality. 6 mp raw was a big surprise for me. I probably will never use color negative or positive film again (b&w could be another story). I now have several bodies as reminders of the past. Toine
