In my opinion, your best bet in the istd if you want to duplicate the
quality of the MZs. It is not up to MZ-S standards but it's not too far
behind. I have both and find the build quality comparable...

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.
