I just read the *istDs review on dpreview. What a great camera! Yes, it is a cut-down *istD but then again it is cheaper, smaller and lighter and has some worthwhile improvements. It really is a digital version of the film ist which in turn is an updated version of the MZ10 - a very under-rated camera. Of course the *istDs not a pro camera - but it should have wider appeal than the original *istD and IMHO is probably the best camera in its market segment at the moment. I can see nothing from the rivals that would compete. It's small, compact, well made and featured. Many fixed-lens ZLRs (if that's they're called) are larger and heavier. Pentax deserves to sell heaps of them just as they sold heaps of ME series cameras in the 80s. Well Done Pentax! Keep up the good work! (Now if Pentax could just release another firmware upgrade for the original *istD with some of the suggestions PDMLers have made - I would be very much obliged!)
