I was somewhat disappointed that my friend's Nikon D100 had a minimum ISO setting of 200. That is faster than I normally shoot and would have to pull out ND's more often than I do now. I tend to shoot 50-100 speed for non-people and 160 for people.
I'm hoping the Pentax DSLR will have a lower ISO setting than the D100.
