Yeah, I see your point...but I like small equipment, so for the moment it seems that I'll skip the K10D, so the K100D would be the only current choice (and it seems that it will be for many, many months).
When I look to my friend's DL viewfinder I don't perceive a significant loss over my DS, so I guess the key is to know if the K100D AF is way better than the DS (like someone suggested in another thread), or only slightly better, as Godfrey perceived himself. An improvement in jpgs wold be also welcome, as I am still not that comfortable processing RAWs, but, frankly, with a bit of sharpness, I am quite satisfied with my current ones. (Ah, I also like a lot the 2.5'' LCD, it makes a difference over the DS 2'' although this alone wouldn't make worth the cahange at all) ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Fernando <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Enviado: jueves, 17 de mayo, 2007 20:49:58 Asunto: Re: Anyone moved from istDS to K100D? This was my logic, I didn't want to trade viewfinder for SR, so I waited for the K10D. As Godfrey said, if I didn't have a *istDS I would've gotten a K100D with no regrets.
