You obviously haven't looked through the viewfinder of many modern auto-focus SLRs. While the image area you see through the viewfinder of a *ist D, K10D, etc. is smaller than what you will see with an LX, MX, etc. those are about the last cameras to devote that much of the area solely to image. Even my MZ-S, probably the best of the late- model Pentax film SLRs, only has a slightly larger image area than that of my *ist D. A word of advice - stay well away from entry-level CaNikon DSLRs. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
