RE: Any reason not to buy a *istD?

[Larry Levy]

It's been my tool of obvious choice since it's owned me. I have yet to shoot 
in a situation that caused me to want something else currently available 
that isn't significantly more expensive. Sure, I'd like my wide angle lenses 
to retain their apparent perspective when mounted on the *istD, but I 
haven't seen a remotely affordable alternative.

That said, the reason not to buy one is that it costs more than its 
siblings. I think that it's better constructed and the way it works fits the 
way I had become accustomed to work, but if the "advantages" it offers 
aren't worth it to you, than that's ample reason not to buy it.
