Pentax has delivered on a promise to unveil its first digital SLR camera this year. Having abandoned plans to introduce a full-frame sensor model, the Japanese manufacturer began working on a new 35mm camera system that would also form the basis for a digital SLR, and both are finally revealed this week at the PMA trade show in Las Vegas. The ist D boasts the smallest and lightest body of any interchangeable lens digital SLR currently available, weighing just 510g without batteries.
