I agree heartily. It's one of the reasons I came back to Pentax (Despite being a long-time Nikon guy who made a brief foray over here with the *istD). The Pentax's just feel 'better sorted' UI-wise than the lesser Nikons. The only Nikons I find as seamless to work with are the D200 and D2's. The D50, D70 and D80 are just not as polished UI-wise. That said, pentax didn't get everything right, especially the flash controls on the Fn menu on the K100 (Which are useless, 4 options to choose from and all they do is turn Red-Eye on and off). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
