I still prefer the *ist D and would use it more often except my copy seems to drain batteries much faster than my Ds. I find the the D takes 6 raw shots in burst mode, (with noise reduction turned off), in the time the Ds takes 5. The Ds clears the buffer faster but as I said, I rarely use continuous shooting with either. The battery issue and the fact that I can't turn the histogram on for immediate review keeps the D in reserve.
