Me: Boxed sets of Voyager DVDs Alma: Pentax *ist Ds Har, I been playing with this cute lil thing (the camera, not my wife). 1. Rocker switch affair on the back - it works fine, just need the knack. 2. Nice body build, feels solid enough. (my wife, as well as the camera) 3. Menu hierarchy seems okay, can't figure out how to change ISO but what the hell, will read the manual eventually. 4. Eyepiece rubber is flimsy and pretty useless. 5. Put some AAs in and in no time it was flashing 'battery depleted' at me. Measured 1.47 volts across all. Harumph. Put some fresh one's in and seems okay. 6. Tried some old manual lenses on, icluding Tokina 17 3.5 and worked okay - after I took it out of AF- S mode and left it in continuous. I don't believe in single anything. No green buttons, it just works. (Already upped the firmware to 2.0) 7. It's so sloooow compared to the 1D but hey, no surprise. Fast enough for her ladyship. She loves the pop-up flash. 8. The SD card is easy to get at - same or different to the D? 9. So light, the whole camera weighs about the same as the 1D's battery alone. 10. Overall, a nice little thing. Looks like the MX will take a back seat for a while. We have a dodgy old FA 35-70 macro that can do duty as a jack-of-all-trades lens for now. Worryingly, she asked me what the next PUG theme was ! Cheers, Cotty
