The other thing that I like from the *ist D is the mirror slap noise, compared to the one of the *ist DS (and I'm assuming that the same applies to the KxxD series) the latter is much louder, more intrusive for candid photography (for what I use the *ist D, low light candid photos with fast lenses) I also could swear that I can handhold slight slower shutter speeds with the D (no SR obviously) but I have no proof. The K10D mirror noise is also rather quiet (according to my standards) but the body is larger. The *istD with the two pancakes I have (and with the 43LTD) is such a pleasure to handle, as is the K10D with zooms and bigger lenses; I would buy an ist D updated with the K20D sensor, no SR, but I know is not going to come, the market has spoken and I understand that this type of camera would not appeal to a mass market (yeah I know about the entry level ones, I'm talking about a semipro camera, with hyperprogram, lots of knobs and switches, etc. a la *ist D)
BTW Somebody knows how loud is the Oly E-420 mirror slap? On 6/19/08, Lucas Rijnders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Op Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:09:11 +0200 schreef P. J.
