The D was too slow and the buffer was too small, The D50 had a poor viewfinder and didn't meter with MF glass, the K100D had a marginal viewfinder and way too small a buffer, and the 10D was too slow and unenjoyable to work with. Of those, I was happiest with the K100D The DS was the first DSLR that really worked well for me. And I'd be shooting it happily today if the K10D hadn't been such a great deal (I upgraded for about $260 actual cash outlay after trade-in on the DS and the return of a Sony F36AM flash I'd bought for my Minolta Maxxum 7) -- M.
