That's exactly what I've been thinking William, but I'm not quite up enough on the technical details of digital cameras to comment much. Wasn't it just discussed how Nikon lenses are sharper for the most part then Pentax? What about with the new photoshop CS or what ever it is that has the plugin for pentax raw files? Would that make it more fair? I'm getting the impression that with Pentax raw files he used the included software?

It makes the whole trying to compare the istD sharpenss with other camera kinda retarded, since the test would have to be conducted with identical lenses to be a real test of the sensor resolution.
