Hi all,
simple question: shoudl I get an istD or istDs, or should I wait for the next
digital SLR. Will Pentax bring us a newer digital SLR, with the Sony rumours?
Is the only main difference between the D and Ds that the D will accept a
battery pack?
I have invested a lot in Pentax glass and will feel pretty shitty when I cannot
upgrade to a good digital SLR.

Should I buy a car now, or wait until the 2006 models are out?
Should I buy a computer today? After all, next month they'll have more
memory and lower pricing.
Should I buy an FA lens now, or wait for a DA equivilent to come to market?
Should I buy a Louis Vitton purse today, or continue using my
out-of-style purse until the next hot trend comes along?
The fact is that the time to buy is when you feel your level of need
and/or want of the product is greater than the need or want for the
money in your pocket. How many shots will you miss waiting for the next
new model, and once it comes out, how many shots will you miss waiting
for its successor?
Speaking of successors, what specific thing that is missing from the
current assortment is it that you expect to find in next year's model?
And when it is also not found in next year's models, are you prepared to
wait another year or two for the feature to show up?
Just some observations on human nature and buying preferences. ;)
