Let's not discount comments by the people @ dpreview. A more prudent approach might be to read the dp threads, and then see if and how those problems come to bear with the cameras used by PDMLers. There could very well be some problems that need attention or manifest themselves in certain circumstances.
Your focus comment, for example, is a good one. When I first got my DS I noticed getting good, accurate focus was a sometimes thing, until John Celio showed me how the sensors worked and helped me to set the camera properly. I had some other problems that turned out to be human error, and once figured out I've been happy ever since. However, I did notice a problem with banding on one or two frames when using one of Bruce's istD's. Never did figure out what caused the problem, and Bruce never mentioned it here AFAIK, so it may have been just an anomaly. Still, to dismiss complaints from various users of _new_ cameras is probably not a good way to go about evaluation the camera for strengths and weaknesses, especially if you're making some important pics.
