Why would you want ISO 50 sensitivity? At 200, noise is virtually
unnoticable, and ND filters can be used when slower shutter speeds are
required.

Good question.
For the average PDMLer the D is the best camera of the three. The
only worthwhile improvement offered by the DS is it's larger
buffer/higher speed, but against those is the lack of functionality
and the irritation of idiot features like "sports mode".
Perhaps Pentax are no longer aiming at the more serious photographer,
having rightly deduced that most such people have already bought a
DSLR. (Note the "most"!)
We can hope that the needs of the more serious photographer will be
addressed by the next body. Personally, I'm hoping for a bigger
buffer and better write speed, plus 50 ISO.

Hmmm ... what would be the reason for Pentax discontinuing or
curtailing
production of the istD? I think this may have been discussed before,
but I
wasn't paying attention, not being too interested in the camera at
the time.

I think Pentax may have stopped producing the *istD. It's available
new
from B&H in New York.
