Well for those of us who don't re-orientate each image using the pre-view screen of the camera (I don't even know if the *ist D works this way) or don't wish to have to corral together vertical shots and do a batch rotate (I'm talking thumbnails mainly) it's a right royal PITA. It's one of those no real excuse omissions to my mind. After recently reviewing 4500 trip shots where orientation was changed often I really don't appreciate that they left it out (especially when the bottom feeder cameras from other manufacturers and many P&S cameras do it). I'm also having some difficulty trying to fathom how a gravity based sensor could lead to incorrect orientation too, when would it be wrong?
