There's' no sharpness issue as far as I know with the Pentax *ist D. I have used it for a year and a half and done more than 30000 exposures. Unlike other brands - like Nikon, it has less built-in sharpness. I believe Nikon D7 does over sharpen, which is not really pretty. It is better to sharpen later in the computer, if necessary. The pre sharpening is adjustable by the way. These wwere shoit at F 2.8: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72057594121257182/

I have made some researches and, after I saw Dario's homepage, I became a little concerned on the sharpness of the *ist D. Is it really unsharp? If so, is it something Photoshop can fix (I mean, do you always have to use Photoshop to fix the sharpness of all your photos)? By how many points (in average)? And what about the colour rendition? It is completely different from the *ist D to the Fujifilm and the Cannon cameras. Which one delivers the right colour? Another question: is the *ist D worth the $600.00 over the *ist DL? What are the extra features? Thanks in advance Joao _______________________________________________________ Abra sua conta no Yahoo!
