Unfortunately it's like the fish that got away, there's never any proof of loss because the moment is long gone and no photo happened. During the 2000 Olympics in Sydney I would have missed plenty of shots I'd been shooting with my *ist D, I had motors on my LX and I made sure I shot the whole film and yes I did get some great shots. I have missed some shots that I know would have been great using my *istD, particularly close up at concerts. I had the opportunity to spend some "quality time" with a *ist DS over the last week and I must say I really don't like the grip ergonomics, the *ist D (sans grip) is way ahead in that department to my mind.
