Like Nikon, the basic control dials are the same between the mid-range and Pro bodies, as is the basic AE-Lock setup. But virtually every other control differs, the 3 button setup (Nikon uses something similer, 3 buttons and a drive mode ring) is substantially different from a mode dial on the lower-end bodies. I like the Pro configuration much better, but it does make switching between the two occasionally painful. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
