WOW. It's amazing how defensive this list gets. For a moment i almost thought I was on a Leica list.
It's also amazing how much people here slam Ken Rockwell about not including facts, and then they themselves do not tell the facts. Some general info on Ken's site and this review in general (BTW ... I do not know him at all, but have read his site for years since I used to use Nikon MF and he has one of the better lens sections on the web)
He wrote this review BEFORE anyone had access to the istDs. It is a preview, not a review. He even said his opinion might change if he uses one.
His site is an opinion site, and he goes out of his
way to make that perfectly clear. He also makes it
perfectly clear what he is looking for in a camera and
that he is ONLY judging cameras based on what he is
looking for in a camera...
If you read his pages... based on what he is looking for, the Pentax istDs does not cut it.
FYI .. he gave the istD a favorable review when it was
introduced, and personally uses Pentax spot meters. Hard to say he is anti pentax.
