RE: 200 ISO on istD

Funny you should mention this.
Is the *ist D the only Pentax SLR to have a 'frame counter' in the
viewfinder?
I know that it is one thing that I find lacking whenever I am shooting
finish line photos.

DPreview could save us a lot of list traffic, you're absolutely right.  I
don't even remember who asked the original question about ISO in this
thread, and I'm too lazy to look it up in the archives at www.pdml.net too.

So Wendy and Tom have responded that the Canons have lower ISO.
How about Nikons? Fujis?

Could this be a CMOS thing?

  Why don't the DSLR cameras have this lower ISO?  Is there some technical
  reason for it?
 

 Lowest ISO on the 10D is 100.
 I don't know whether it gives better results than the 200 setting or if
200 is the optimum.

The D1 is 200-1600.I'm pretty sure the D1x D1h and D100 are all the same 200-1600,but i
read the D2h 
will go up to 3200 with custom settings.
Does the *istD put a flag on the header that allows slide show software to detect a
portrait mode shot 
and automatically change it on the screen instead of having to do it manually.
I think Canon has a camera and the D2h is supposed to do this.It would be very 
helpfull to
me anyway.

Same sensor as one of the Nikon DSLRs -- which, I believe, can do ISO 100.

My guess has been that this is so Pentax can bring out constant aperture
zoom lenses at f4 rather than f2.8, with no loss in performance. Just a
guess.

Nope. The D100 only goes down to ISO 200.
It's a sensor limitation.
