I think the DS does not have wireless sync with the
AF360FGZ. I have a D and recently was very tempted to
get a DS as a second body because of the low price,
but after I calmed down, I told myself that I should
either save that money for a wide zoom (Pentax 12-24mm
or Sigma 10-20mm) or for the
The DS allows wireless control of the AF360FGZ but not with the built-
in flash ... it takes two of the FGZ flash units to do the
communications. The D's builtin flash can control the FGZ.
I'd forgotten about this as I use flash so infrequently. When I use
flash, I use a Sunpak 383, which

Thanks to all who provided feedback on whether I should purchase a second
*ist D as backup to my existing *ist D, make the jump to the *ist DS/DS2 for
my second Pentax DSLR body, or wait for the upcoming 10 Mpixel next-gen. In
all the CompactFlash-vs-SD card debate, I was surprised to see little
Continuous AF in all modes is back in the DS with Firmware 2.0.
Hyperprogram and the PC-Sync terminal are the two big losses for me,

Hi,
I don't know what Custom Image Sizes is, so I couldn't miss it;
Who needs TIFF when you've got RAW ~and ~ Photoshop;
Hyper-Program is cool, but it's not worth $600+ which was
the best price of a D vs the price for which I got the DS ;
Program Lines/Picture modes - no need for that since
What exactly is that, and how does it work?

Hello Brian,
Simply put, that is why I bought a second *istD rather than an *istDS.
The two wheel interface, HyperManual and Program, Grip, etc.

C-AF mode, where the camera will focus continuously on a moving object
and release the shutter even if the subject isn't in focus, as opposed

At the risk of getting flamed, I'll put my $0.02 in:
o Custom image sizes
Silly for anything but disposable shots IMO.

Apart from the extra knobs and wheels that the D has, I guess I would
like to have the feature of triggering my AF360 flash wireless

in the DS you need two flash guns.
