I have, in front of me, several images I have printed from the *istD. These are for promotional purposes. I have a 6x4 5x7 8x12 16x20 24x30 and 30x40. And you are correct in saying they are a little soft. But a 30x40 image is not made to be viewed at less than a meter where the eye starts to compensate for imperfections, sort of fills in the blanks. I dont do much wide angle photography and still prefer my 6x7, but for punching out most images, 8x12 and down, the smaller frame suits just fine. I think many would just buy the first 8 megapixel or full frame Pentax for the sheer coolness of owning one.
