I guess the ist DS is selling well enough to be included in today's
(2/17/05) Personal Journal section of the World Street Journal. In an
article (I don't have a link), by Pui-WingTam, about price wars escalating
in DSLRs. Pentax is the second manufacturer mentioned (of course, after
Canon and followed by Olympus & Nikon). There is not much mention of Pentax
in the story Canon is mainly featured,with Nikon second), but the *ist DS is
pictured and depicted in the side-bar as $999.95 with lens and "weighs in as
one of the lighter SLRs, at less than 18 ounces." It's not the most
technically accurate article, but it's there.
Note: the new Canon Digital Rebel XT, with an 8 megapixel CMOS and weighing
in at 17 ounces (does this have implications on feel and build quality?)
will be in stores next month.
