Re: Taking back the ist ds
The first couple of times I downloaded pictures from my *ist-D I used the card reader built into an HP Photosmart 7250 supposedly USB 2.0 compatible, which it is, but it downloads at USP 1.0 speeds. I figured anything had to be faster so I used the USB cable that came with the camera until I could get an multi card reader. I haven't used the cable to download photos since.

Re: Taking back the ist ds
I'm not Paul, but yes for all intents and purposes the *ist series bodies are all the same size. They are slightly differnet shapes, and the D has a slightly shallower grip. All of the rest are exactly the same size though the DL's are lighter than the Ds'. Hope that helps.

One other thing about the DS - be sure you have the latest firmware upgrade.

Re: Taking back the ist ds
If you got it cheap enough, I'd just ignore the USB port entirely and use a card reader instead. The only time I ever used the USB port of a Pentax DSLR was to see if the Pentax Remote Assistant worked with the K10D. It worked, that was the last time I plugged it in. Card readers are much better than plugging in the camera, and they're faster to boot.

Re: Taking back the ist ds
On the other hand, if the more expensive camera is an *ist DL you might want to pass. That camera is newer but it doesn't have a prism viewfinder. An *ist D might also be more expensive than a DS, but the write speed -- the speed at which it records the picture data -- will be slower. But it's a more substantial build and can be fitted with a battery grip. That one is probably a toss up in my opinion.

That camera is newer but it doesn't have a prism viewfinder. An *ist D might also be more expensive than a DS, but the write speed -- the speed at which it records the picture data -- will be slower. But it's a more substantial build and can be fitted with a battery grip. That one is probably a toss up in my opinion.

Re: Taking back the ist ds
The DS and DL series are identical externally apart from the LCD (DS has 2, DS2, DL, DL2 have 2.5). The D is different, with a smaller grip on a slightly larger body. K-series bodies are larger. -Adam On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 10:04 PM, Steve Larson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks for all the info paul. are the ist body sizes all the same size? i ask because the wife wants a small camera. steve - Original Message - From: Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 6:51 PM Subject: Re: Taking back the ist ds On the other hand, if the more expensive camera is an *ist DL you might want to pass.
