Hi! JF> You missed the most important part: "... complete with LCD".
JF> I know I can trigger the shutter release - I don't even need a Palm JF> Pilot (or other PDA) for that. I want to be able to look at the JF> resulting image, histogram display, etc. I don't think we'll see JF> that on the *ist-D, but I'd like to see it on a future camera model. Indeed I did miss that. That is I rather misunderstood you. You see, the highest modern PDA can go is either 320x240 (soon to be 640x480 or thereabouts) or 480x320... I don't know about you, but none of the above looks any reasonable to me for the purpose in discussion. So it kind of never occurred to me that you meant *that* <g>. I think that if I were rich enough to buy *istD or similar, I'd also buy big enough a card and shoot like crazy. Then I would review my stuff on the screen of my PC. At least, it is 17" and can do 1600x1200 if I ask nicely <g>. It is 1152x864 by default... But the most expensive MF digi backs use iPAQs as viewfinders and such. So, I estimate in no more than two years, enablement of this kind would be possible... Boris P.S. I just occurred to me that it would be "Enablement of the third kind" - neither camera body, nor lens - a weird accessory <g>...
