You need new glasses, Pal. :-) Honestly, its compact dimension and its characteristic pentaprism housing shape are unique among DSLRs. > I'm dissapointed by the *ist D because it is strictly for the K-mount > base without any vision beyond that.

We have been dying for a K mount DSLR; now we get one, and it has already been written off completely on the second day! Even more amazingly, this conclusion is entirely based on the look of the camera!! I mean, who cares about if *ist D can take great pictures, who cares if it has competitive features, who cares if it feels good in your hands, who cares if it is affordable.... since it looks too much like other cameras, it has to be DOOMED, right?!? <sigh> <I am speechless> <shaking my head> -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
