I'm trying to understand this, John. Doesn't it depend on buffer size?
Or processor speed? Or speed of writing to the card? If it depends only
on how fast you can get data out of the chip, an
Got it, John. Thanks.
As for autofocus: For my purposes (emphasis) the *ist D's autofocus is
far inferior to that of the PZ-1p.

Herb, don't these guys need to let that long glass settle down
after a shot? Is a drive _that_ much better than a winder for
a long 600 and TC on a tripod?

another hardware statement Morris makes is that a camera body without full

I've never used the P.-1P but I do use only the central sensor on the
*istD. I've heard that the P.-1P had a AF bigger motor, so it could
very well be faster. The central sensor of the *istD is a cross sensor,
however, so that should mean less camera titling.

Hey! I resemble that remark!
I know I favour my right eye, but this demands a test. What if I take better
photographs with my left eye(?)another sleepless night ahead :-)

I always used my left eye until I bought my first Leica M. It was
quick and easy to start us
I used my right eye for twenty five years until it became so far
sighted that it couldn't focus. Then I learned to use my left eye,
which happens to be near sighted, with my LX and 67. I sometimes had to
wear a patch on my right eye or put my thumb over it to keep it closed.
Then I bought the
allax - same
as with point-n-shoot viewfinders. (I had to learn to shoot left-handed,
too. I'm too near-sighted in my right eye to make it work!)

The Z-1p is annoying in that regard. My nose is always hitting the

Okay Steve,
Did you make that up because you have met me? :-)
I think I have some nice shots of the two of you, separately though.
