It probably means that they're re-pricing the ist-DS to a level with the original Rebel-D (its real competitor). Canon isn't discontinuing the original Rebel-D, they're keeping it in the lineup and dropping the price. Pentax is just pricing the DS to be comparable to its real competition (in the eyes of the public - as far as I'm concerned the Rebel is in a cheesy league of its own). -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
