I guess the card problem could have been solved very easily by turning the
contact board inside the camera - or the the card compartment door - 180
degrees.
The CF cards have a rim on the "back side" which can serve as a handle for
the finger nail on the right hand thumb.

My card slot was quite fiddly upon receipt of the camera. After break-in
however, it's not an issue at all. You DO have to be sure to have the strap
in the right position to get the door open but so what?
I use the shot review and would like to have the histogram review be a
little easier to access. Highlight warning sounds nice. I'm living quite
happily without it though.

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
