This is mostly what was expected, no mention of the specifications that everyone finds most annoying about the *ist D[x] cameras.
Lack of weather sealing. Slow frame rate. Slow focus lock, Poor action focus performance USM lenses. etc. (Notice that I didn't mention aperture simulator, though I find it annoying). The only interesting thing here not already expected is the Anti-Dust system, and the Li-Ion batteries which would be a bit of a disappointment if you could no longer use AA's in a pinch.

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
