Not arguing John. The fact still is that the *ist D is almost two years old, with some here believing or hoping it's replacement is forthcoming.

If I couldn't wait, I'd buy the D at a low price. Otherwise I'd wait.

Does it sell at the same price everywhere or just one particular retailer?

In the UK, the D now sells for the same price as the DS. Your argument no longer applies, in this country at least.

Nor do I but the question is would you buy another?

I wouldn't.



Nor I. Not because I am patently unhappy with it. The *ist D was all there was for Pentax users when it came out. While I dislike the, IMO, reduced feature sets of the D(eviants), I'm not sure the *ist D is worth a time and a half or twice as much as them at this point in the game.

If I was set on buying a Pentax DSLR, I would hold off until there is an *ist D successor, if one is forthcoming. If you can convince a reseller to sell you an *ist D at a bargain basement price, maybe.
