This can be used by viewers to display the image without having to decode the RAW file in its entirety. I recently bought one of those Phototainer storage devices which makes use of this feature to display istD RAWs. TH I haven't read that in the manual or elsewhere. I had to download a free plug-in from Cerious so Thumbsplus could display RAW files. I will have to try it with the Epson 2000P when we get some in. |

Just about every SD card manufacturer makes 1 GB cards now and I have seen hints that the 2GB ones should be out fairly soon . Still, 1 GB compact flash cards are less expensive, and 2 GB compact flash has been available for quite some time. With SD, 512 MB has the best price per capacity ratio. With CF, 1 GB. I think the biggest drawback of the Pentax ist-D(s) is the total lack of antishake or image stabilized lenses. That might not be a big issue. After all, photographers worked, and excelled, before IS lenses. |
