A Luminous Landscape review from 2003 maintains the following: "Regrettably Pentax has missed the mark with the *ist D ... they can't ignore ... two serious flaws ‹ a highly problematic card compartment and the lack of a histogram and highlight alert in post-exposure review mode (only on subsequent image playback, but not right after taking the shot) ... The latter can probably be fixed with a firmware upgrade. The CF card eject problem likely needs a body redesign"
Has Pentax fixed these problems in later-produced bodies or through firmware upgrades? Peter Sweden
