Why are your lenes unusable on a ist D. If I owned no dedicated (Pentax) lenses, bellows, flashes etc., I would definitely go for a Canon 10D. All the best

It was time to replace the Olympus Mju II P&S with something that doesn't eat film, and after considering Canon S60, Sony V1 and Pentax Optio 555, I've decided on the Canon. Before you cry "foul", you should hear that the main arguments were the sliding cover design and the zoom starting at 5.8mm (28mm equivalent). So now I have some questions - not brand specific. I've read that some people preffer to use these digi P&S with a "low sharpening" setting and the lowest ISO, and do the sharpening later in Photoshop or whatever. Their claim is that the sharpening is more gently done this way and the noise is kept to a minimum. Is anyone here using a similar technique ? Could you comment on it ? Second question - is there any point in buying high speed CF cards for P&S digicams ? Third question - has anyone compared the RAW output with the finest JPEG setting ? is it worth to shoot in RAW ? And the final question. Since now I'm on a shopping spree, I'm also looking at something more serious, like a DSLR. In my price range are the Nikon D70, Canon 10D and digirebel, and the *ist D. Which one should caveman buy ? (in its infinite wisdom Pentax made my current lenses unusable on the *ist, so I'm open to any suggestion). cheers, caveman
