Since I seldom shoot more than a burst of three I hardly notice. However as I said it's mixed bag with the DL vs the D you can make a valid argument either way. One thing the D has over the DS/DL[2] is the shape of it hand grip. Yes I know the later cameras are much easier to grip than the D but if I mount it on a Mirror Tele the DS grip gets in the way. I'll probably keep the D just to use with my Vivitar Series 1 600mm, (though I can't think of a lens that the Anti Shake system would benefit more).

People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it P. J. O'Rourke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
