Heres and excerpt for the user comments on that review, that should make
Pentax's marketing proud, if they had a marketing department that is.
Despite my lenthy rationalization to the contrary (posted above
somewhere), I've once again contradicted myself (a luxury of mine) and
sold the 10D and lenses I had. I replaced the Canon with an *ist DS
and Pentax SMC F 50mm f/1.4 and SMC F 28mm f/2.8. After 2 weeks free
of the 10D, I'm finding myself bringing the DS with me everywhere as
opposed to bringing the 10D almost nowhere. Now, the 28mm is often in
a pocket and the 50mm is my favorite of the two and usually mounted.
Perhaps the *ist DS is not big news, but I for one am much happier
with the overall useability, the viewfinder, the user interface, the
lenses. And the quality of images I'm getting are more appealing to me
than the 10D. I never liked using the 10D, as competent a camera as it
may be, and for an amateur like myself that's very important. So yet
another thanks to people like Vuk for encouraging the switch.
