Don, I haven't gotten the impression that very many are jumping with delight. There are a few, but mostly what I hear is disappointment in the mount compatibility - especially with the *ist D. One thing that I haven't heard much about that concerns me is the manual interface. It appears that it works much like a ZX-50 or 30. Which means there really is only one dial to spin. That changes shutter speeds. To change apertures, you have to hold in a button and spin the same dial. I have tried that and REALLY disliked it. Perhaps people attracted to it will rarely shoot it in manual mode?
