Too right, I regret selling my *istDS, similar sensor.

The only down sides are the [...] lack of image stabilization (which I have not found a problem).

Yes, people place far too much stock on SR. On my K-5 I turn off SR when using the DA21 for street photography, response is instant as there's no need waiting for the green hand to light up. I can't see any difference in sharpness.

There is also something reassuring about a sensor which is firmly glued in place, rather than depending on wobbly magnets to hold it in position.
