They're just mad because Pentax lenses are superior to all the high priced, high falutin german made stuff...

There is a test comparing all DSLR's. Ist D isn't doing too well: 145 points (max 200 possible). In fact, no other DSLR did worse. Best was Olympus E-1, Nikom D2H and Canon Eos 1Ds (175-176 points. This is odd because according to www.preview.com the Olympus (as an example) isn't doing quite as well. In fact not really better than the SONY DSC F717 as far as sharpness is concerned - in spite of the much larger sensor. Nikon D100 got only 159 points, Canon 10D; 162 points. I guess Fotomagasin doesn't like the SONY sensor, because D100 and Pentax *ist D got the lowest grades for reslution. Total Points: Olympus E-1 176 Nikon D2H 176 Canon 1Ds 175 Canon EOS 10D 162 Nikon D100 159 Nikon D1X 157 Fuji Finepix S2 Pro 155 Sigma SD 10 152 Pentax *ist D 145 Well, this German magasine never liked Pentax much!
