For a CD to be able to be read by any other CD player, the CD has to be made in disk at once (or what ever Nero calls it, you don't want packet writting mode). The basic concept for doing what you want to do is: create a data CD (should be a menu option) then you drag the files you want copied

Hi! Not exactly true. USB 2.0 interfaces are downwards compatible. So if you connect *istD to USB2.0 enabled PC it will work without any problems. Personally I wouldn't bother with this. I would for sure buy external reader - much more convenient to use than connecting cable to camera every

Savings on film/processing by going digital will vary with many factors. Here's a very simplified calculation. Cost per film: NOK 115,- (Provia F: NOK 65,- and Processing: NOK 50,-) Given the ballpark price of *istD or Canon 10D around NOK 18000,- one needs to shoot around 160 films to break

Well, a 16-35mm FA* zoom will be nice - but how much it would cost? Even if (let's hope) Pentax will make such a lens, there is still room for a cheaper DA equivalent, because that'll be the standard lens for *istD (instead of a 18-something FAJ cheap zoom). Alex Sarbu - Original Message

Thats why I the full frame sensors will be more relevant for today's MF market than 135. DagT This is one of the concepts that has somewhat escaped me, why full frame sensors are more appropriate in a MF body then a 35mm format body. Earlier threads were talking about 35mm frame sized sensors.
