The only thing I can think of is that earlier models like the *istDL don't have shake reduction while later models like the K100D do. Not sure whether that's really sensor specific, though.

My K110D doesn't have shake reduction either...if you don't count opting for higher shutter speeds when possible.

I love my *ist DS! It reminds me of my first DSLR, a K1000 super I never should have sold. I still find the 1-control-wheel interface very intuitive. Plus, I use an accessory TTL flash sometimes, no problems, and I have a Canon matte focus screen in there instead of the original. It is GREAT for manual focus, especially fast lenses. Here's one with a Tokina 90mm macro:

Looks like one to me - crawling on milkweed blossoms? Nice shots, Steven.

Thank you Paul and Ralph. I did not see the spider until I downloaded the sd card onto my computer!
