I'm not familiar with the S, but I use Remote Assistant on a regular
basis with my D. It's great for studio work. I can sit at the computer
and trip the shutter. The review image then appears on my screen, and
the RAW file is saved to the computer. If I need to see exactly what I
got, I just open the RAW in the PSCS RAW converter. Love it.

I don't think remote assistant works with the *ist-Ds, it's a D only

2.0 interface, but since when does anything PENTAX make sense...

Thanks, Bill ... my old Sony Mavica had that, although the newer Sony
doesn't seem to. This battery concept, and turning a camera on/off
will
certainly take some getting used to. There have been so many times
when
I've forgotten to turn the 5n off, or forgot to turn it on before
trying to
use it and being unable to take a shot <sigh>
The digital powers itself down after a few minutes (user settable
time delay). The istD, if it has powered itself down, is ready to go
again just by touching and releasing the shutter button once.
What's remote assistant software?
You can attach the camera to a computer via a USB cable and control
it from there. I haven't investigated the possibilities fully though,
so I really don't know all that is available.
Note, I misread the subject line, I am talking about the istD, not
the istDs. I don't know if it can use the Remote Assistant or not.
