I didn't like the DS when I looked at it. I have the D. On the DS, they 

got rid of the control wheel in front of the shutter button
added some dummy modes that I was never going to use
made the media format SD instead of CF where I already have an investment in
CF (thanks Pentax!) 
and (it appeared to me) cheapened the build. 

Any one of those would have been annoying; all four together became a
dealbreaker.
