RE: Ist DS vs Ist DL

[Butch Black]

Hi Barry

If you go to digital photography review www.dpreview.com check camera, 
Pentax, and click on the highlighted side by side, scroll down and click add 
for the Ds and Dl you can get a side by side of features. There is 
surprisingly little difference between the Ds and Dl spec wise. The Ds has a 
pentaprism versus a penta mirror and has a stainless steel frame which I 
don't think the Dl has. Where you do macro work the Ds' pentaprism may be 
important, also useful if you do a lot of manual focus. BTW they list buydig 
as the low price for the Ds. I bought mine there and had no trouble with the 
transaction, will buy from them again.
