Pentax *ist DS Reviews

A very good camera
( - 9/14/05)I must say that I read dozens of reviews of the Pentax ist*DS, Nikon D70 and Canon Rebel XT. It was not an easy task but finally I decided to buy the Pentax. I am glad I did.
I am very pleased with my Pentax. It is easy to use, light (as opposed to Nikon D70 that feels like a brick)and it takes fantastic pictures just out of the box. I shoot ot of RAW pictures, but lately I have been shooting JPEG "best quality" and am very happy with the results. I will slowly build a good selection of lenses and enjoy my Pentax even more. All things considered, if I could go back, I would buy the Pentax all over again..
