Re: *ist D is it to old?

Two comments. Some years ago I went from the IstD to the K10. A friend of mine, who doesn't take many pictures, was insisting he needed to upgrade to more megapixels. As we looked at photos from the K10 he was raving at the sharp images and the detail and finally I said, "We left the K10 and went to the 6mp IstD about 35 pictures ago.

When I got the beta for Lightroom4 I went to raw files from 2005 to play with the software. As I edited the various photos I was reminded of actually how nice the IstD was.

To be sure, I love having the higher ISO, better dynamic range, shake reuction, and some of the other new features. For me, they could take movie mode and stuff it. If I wanted for be a videographer I'd get...ta-da....a video camera.
