From my experience, I've taken shots that I was sure I'd missed the focus on, and reviewed them on the rear screen of my *ist-Ds, not as big as the new K series but close, and breathed a sigh of relief thinking they were salvageable. They weren't. Everything looks sharp at that resolution,

One could use M with electronic flash as long as one uses a shutter speed of 1/30 second or less. At slow speeds the shutter is open long enough that 20ms makes no difference. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof

On the DS, if you go to about 4x-5x magnification, you're seeing the pixels at approximately 1:1 and can evaluate sharpness easily. I agree that you can't see sharpness well enough at standard review size without magnification. G On Aug 4, 2006, at 1:33 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: From my

Really? I set my first zoom step to 4x on the DS2 and find the image at that size to be a perfectly good size for judging focus -- and I do it a lot, shooting wide-open with a 400mm 2.8, which gives the tiniest sliver of in-focus image. -Aaron -Original Message- From: P. J. Alling

I also will not use this feature -- but since a simple change to a preference setting will cause the switch to behave as a regular DOF preview, just like on the old bodies, I see no reason to complain about it. -Aaron -Original Message- From: P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj:

Thanks John. $900, huh? Sounds a little low for the D200 type build-quality, but heck if it works as well as I hope it does it will be a great price. I like the RAW/JPEG switch button ... that is a more common switch for me than white balance. Can't wait to see one. Godfrey On Aug 4,

So your experience is different. I don't have a problem seeing the effect of the DOF lever in the viewfinder, I don't see a difference in focus on the rear viewer unless the focus is way off. I know a couple of people who can't separate the darkening of the image from the apparent change in

IMO it is better than not having it. For most people (I mean newbies and all normal people;) it will easier to understand and use. I have to say that checking DOF at f/16-32 is a pain. So it may be useful to some of us, who knows?. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille

I hope you're wrong about the preset shooting modes. Or if it does have them, I hope it has a switch for continuous autofocus as well, along with individualwheels for shutter speed and ap. In other words, I hope it's at least as professional in its operating modes as the *ist D. The price is
