Good morning. I finally made up my mind about buying a digital. Basically, I didn't need one before and now, since I would like to get myself a job in a newspaper, a new camera will come handy.

I have a Pentax MZ-S, a FTZ500, a 28-105mm, a 50mm, a 80-320mm, all Pentax. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me about choosing a correct camera for my needs. I have been reading about two cameras, particularly the *istD and *istD2. I tried the *istDL the other day, it didn't "feel" right. I was amazed by the price difference between the models. What is it that makes the *istD more expensive? The viewfinder? The focusing system? Which camera would be best for me in the long run? A large LCD would be a plus, but not necessarily.

Thanks for your patience


I would like to have a camera just as good as my good old MZ-S, but digital. I am interested in Portraits, Music, Documentary and Street Photography, but I understand that if I do get a job as a photojournalist, fingers crossed, I would be covering
 a wider range of subjects.
