Wanted an upgrade and WOW I got one
I take a lot of digital photos, and I mean a lot. I run a cross country and track and field web page for our local area. I attend cross country and track meets and take a lot of "action" photos. I have been using a 4 mega pixel point and shoot for the last four years and while it did ok, there were... Read full review »
Excellent Camera for Price
I wanted to step up to a SLR digital camera for my job and I had four fine Pentax lenses from the film days gathering dust. You can tell where this is going. When the Pentax *istDL came out in January 2006 at a good price point, I took the leap. B&H Photo sold me the camera with a Pentax 18-55 lens... Read full review »
Great Price! Great Camera! Excellent entry into DSLRs
I have had an *istDL since june 200 (now April 07), and I must say, I really enjoy working with this camera. It is light, it has great battery life, and I can take more pictures than I know what to do with. I only have a single 1 gb Sandisk Extreme III SD card. I can take around 330 full quality...

Good choice for amateurs and those stepping up.
After years of disappointments with digital point & shoot cameras, I found myself drooling over digital SLRs. I take a wide variety of photos, mainly for my own use. My latest endeavor into photography involves taking pictures at my niece's gymnastics meets.
P&S cameras are fine for still...

A great first step into the digital SLR world
This is a great digital SLR for someone who is currently using a point-and-shoot digital camera but wants to move up to a camera with more image control.
I had a Sony DSC-T1. It is a great little camera, but I found it had a weak flash for night pictures and moving images were difficult...

Great camera
Hi there,
I purchased the Pentax *ist DL a month ago and have been very happy with it. I have had two Pentax 35mm SLR's for years and have recently been trying to shoot at high school basketball games. The pics with the 35's have been too dark, out of focus or grainy due to the limited...

Outstanding performance at an incredible value!
I can honestly say this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I decided to buy a new digital camera after using my friends Nikon D70 extensively last year. I previously owned a non digital slr, 3.2 mp Canon S30 Powershot purchased in 2002. My original inclination was to opt for the Nikon... Read full review »
Just bought it on a whim
The camera works just like the film SLR with BETTER picture quality. It's easy to use and light. I found it attractive, compact, easy to carry, and it fit in my bag right next to my other Pentax camera. Also, the lenses are interchangable, so I didn't have to buy new lenses to go with this Camera... Read full review »
