...isn't that rather a Ken-ish approach? I've just had a look at the review here: http://www.kenrockwell.com/pentax/istD.htm and I must say it seems perfectly reasonable, albeit rather thin. He gives the standard set of facts about the camera that you can get anywhere, and says "I have only used it a little. It's a perfectly swell camera. I will presume image quality is the same as the other real DSLRs like the Nikon D100 and Canon 10D [...] By all means consider this. It should be much better than any non-SLR". It's somewhat useless as a review, but he says he used it, but only a little. I can see no reason for this to generate hate mail, or indeed any reaction other than 'so what?'. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of P.
