Hi Paul, Thank you sir, great to be back. I admit that I was overwhelmed with all the digi talk, but looks like we're going to be a Pentax digi family, so I'm here to stay by the looks of it, cause I want one too now :))) Thanks for the info, I think I got the wife talked into the ist D. From the looks of it, I think it was a demo, not a scratch on it, and I can't wait to try it. The store is closed today, so will probably pick it up on Monday :)
