I think the DS and DS2 are great cameras. I bought one. Now, after being out less than a year, the DS2 has become scarce as hen's teeth. That is ~frustrating~ especially since I don't know if the camera has been discontinued, if there's just a slowdown in delivery, or what. Even the sites listed on the Pentax web site don't have the DS2 - lots of DL's though.
I'm not looking for newer, faster, bigger, better - I just want the camera they are supposedly producing. Shel > [Original Message] > From: Godfrey DiGiorgi > I'm not exasperated with Pentax.
