These are very valid points - I love my istD even though I am not blind to it's weaknesses. I love all of my cameras and each one of them has some weakness or another, that's the way it goes. That said, it is hard to listen to people bash on your decisions based on their own, probably very different, set of values. I would think that we Pentaxians would understand that more than anyone, being treated similarly by all those Nikonians and Canonites. We need to stick together, not fight amongst ourselves.

I think that you just ran into the "my new toy syndrome". Folks do not want to hear that their new toy is not perfect. They will defend their toy to the death. All of that is just basic human psychology. No need to get upset. However, I can understand the aggravation you feel when you are wanting to find out something useful. I, for one, will miss you on the list.
