Re: *ist D CF card removal: Just looked @ my Nikon 5700. It has the same CF card orientation as my *ist D - the lip on the card is oriented toward the back of the camera making it harder to remove than if it was in the front.

I suspect the fix for the large files (bigger external drive) is a little more elegant that the crappy piece of tape that needs to be attached to many cards in order to make them at all easy to remove. Also I suspect the CF door isn't such an issue for non-strap users but I have Tamrac straps with the little QR lugs on my camera and with the strap connected or not the short flying QR straps always seem to foul the door. A fix would be nice but I suspect we can write off any thoughts of further attention to the *ist D from Pentax. Call it early (well early for Pentax) adopters blues. We can only cross our fingers that the engineers listen even a little to our (my) bitching and moaning :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
