Is anyone using the Pentax *ist D?
If so, what do you think about it?
Especially, what's the shutter lag?
(I did a Google search for +"Pentax *ist D" +"Shutter lag" without success.

It's either that or nothing at present, so don't tell me how great the Canon
10D is.
I *know*, but I've got a bagful of Pentax-fit lenses, and I certainly couldn't
justify changing all that, plus a second body etc.

According to the review in Photography magazine it's very fast with little
lag, and quite suitable for action photography.

I asked this question a few eeks ago and got several replies from VERY
satisfied users. I intend to get one myself.

If you go to PhotoSIG and look there you'll find not only reviews but also
portfolios of images shot with one. Looks good.

Thanks for replies.
It's just a matter of when...
