I stopped in at a local B&N bookstore today and one of the current photo
magazines, had a very positive review of the *ist-DL. The author was
especially happy at it's fast extremely accurate exposures as compared
to his usual DSLR, it's excellent manual focusing capability, and very
fast autofocus. (I just wish I could remember which Mag. I saw it in...)

Yes, but just think how happier you'd have been had you bought a Canon! <g>
Seriously, it's wonderful to read a report extolling the virtues of a
Pentax dslr. Thank you.
