Thanks Bruce, I trust your opinion.
I handled a *ist DS the other day and wondered.
The price was good, very enabling.
If an 8 megapixel version of the *ist D was next,
I'd probably be a buyer.
The shutter lag on the Sony is killing me...

Why is megapixelage important? Do you print huge?

No huge printing here, but...
1) I figure 8 megapixels is the next generation after 6, and will be improved.
2) I've shot Kodachrome whenever I could for the past 25+ years. I'm
spoiled by those nice 30x45 inch projected images. The 4 megapixel
Sony prints snapshots OK on my Epson 870 Photo

More megapixelage means a little more flexibility to crop and better quality
large prints.
Hi Bob,
I think we have the same Sony model. There are a few things you can do to
reduce shutter lag, which, I agree, can be a PITA on these PS cameras.
You can put the camera into full manual mode, or aperture priority,
pre-focus or use manual focus, and partially depress the shutter release
My KX did (and still does) the same to me =) even if my SuperA has been
quite good in the very same way

The MX is nice, but I've recently become enchanted with the K body cameras.
A number of people have donated K-1000's and a couple of KM's to the 6th
Street Workshop, so I had a chance to try a few. They were new experiences
for me having gone directly from the Spotmatic series to the M's and LX.
Shel,
I've used the pre-focus tricks to reduce the shutter lag on the Sony
S85. I've even used it for gymnastic meets and girls vaulting. You
can make it work, but it's still a pain to do.
I had a Sony S75 but passed it onto my son Bill. About the only thing
different with the S85 is it is
It helps to be able to crop sometimes...

Hi,
The Ds has a great amount of interesting features but
its simplicity (few wheels and buttons) can make the
access to some of these features too complicated to be
really usable.
Being my current AF camera a MZ-5n, that has a
dedicated and very convenient commandment to change
between spot,
go As I said, not the simplest, but since I use mostly
Center Weighted mode, I just leave it there

Subject: Changing metering modes in Ds?
Hi
Great news, Jaume, it takes 11 clicks through menus at worst, 3 at
best (hopefully one can wrap scrolling through the recording menu).
Pentax placed the metering mode as well as flash compensation at the
bottom of the menu page; image tone and size are considered far more
useful options
My feeling all along and after handling a DS in the store yesterday is
that those who are happy with something less than the MZ-5n, will be
happy with the DS. Basically people who are going to leave it on one
of the program modes and not change much of anything very often.
Those who like the
I don't have experience with those other models, but changing the metering
mode on the MZ-S rocks. One knob right on the top. In fact, the placement of
the knob makes it almost too easy: I've accidentally bumped it into another
mode a couple of times.

I have had ZX-10's - it is more capable than those. Almost like a
