Pentax *ist DL Details
Editors' Comments
The Pentax *ist DL expertly walks the fine line between high quality photographs and convenient portability. The Pentax *ist DL ups the ante from previous Pentax SLRs, sporting a 2.5" LCD screen for detailed viewing. The camera's relatively small size makes it effortless to carry, while the steel body ensures high durability for more rugged photographers. Taking either 4 AA or 2 CR-V3 lithium batteries, the *ist DL gives you a range and flexibility that allows you to focus on your subjects and not your power meter.
