I can certaiinly live with both:
1) The problematic card compartment means, it's a little trickey to get the
car out. And the compartment door sometimes gets caught in the camera strap.
It's all really a matter of habit. And I guess a rather tight card slot
minimizes the risk of getting dirt and moitstur on the contacts.
2) I don't understand the fuzz about the histogram. It's there - post
exposure. High light warning is missing, but I guss a realy reliable and
critical judgment can not me preformed from the LCD, anyway. It's there only
to give a rough clue about what's going on.
I don't use instant replay anyway - I only play back if there's a special
reason to do so. Pressing one more button is not a big deal for me. And I
don't really miss the high light warning.

-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Peter Smekal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 29. januar 2005 12:31 Til: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Emne: *istD-flaws
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
