That's my impression as well (albeit the other way around). Back in 2003 I borrowed a D100 from a friend for a forthcoming trip to the UK. I found the Nikon straightforward to use, as it was very similar to the PZ-1p I was used to (the Pentax body that was the first to use the two-wheel interface used on the *ist D and K10D digital bodies). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
