The Ds is definitely my favourite. It feels good and does what I want it to. Love experimenting with different lenses and weird shots a no added cost.
The instant feedback is worth so much. Always used to wonder, no matter how often I'd done it, if the money shot was good enough until the film was developed. And if you blew it (happened once or twice) - too late! Next Pentax SP500/1000 just cuz of the 1000's of pictures, some pretty good, and almost zero camera problems. Real work horses which paid for themselves many times over. Powell
