Iīve been checking this thread from time to time and been tempted to get a 6mpix camera for a while. And last week found a deal for the Original One, *ist D with battery grip, for 35€, less than 40$! Initial impressions were that the camera has been sitting in storage for a while or years; it smells. No fungus anyway. Minor signs of wear on buttons shows that has been in a good use some point in itīs life. No idea of shuttercount, tried couple sites but they couldīt tell how much it has on the meter. Apparently no DNG, but PEF works with Darktable and it has TIFF format in camera! Age is really showing, the post stamp display is hard to look and speed is not itīs strength. Also the CF-card, while big enough for a chimp to handle requires a multitool to get it out. It really makes my K200d look like a modern camera. Still, quite pleasant to use, grip is good and basics are easy to reach. Sound of the shutter has been taken from some good old scifi flick, soooo pleasing! So, everything seems to work and this thing definetily isnīt going to retire! Now i just have to wait for the spring to actually start  [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

Little more challencing, and found out the mandatory hot pixels that can automatically be fixed on RAW-files only, not TIF. So, back to PEF, then! Also colour banding is back. Heck, shooting with more up-to-date gear really is easy!  Was good, BTW  [IMG]  [/IMG]

I was looking at that ad for a long time, asking myself if I needed a 3rd *ist D . It's a quirky camera but I love it. I've gotten pretty adept at getting the CF card out fairly easily using a thumbnail. I've not noticed any banding, though. What RAW editor are you using? I mostly rely on Rawtherapee with digiKam and Gimp (running Linux Mint). Enjoy your new toy!
