Humm, too bad about the controls being too small, but I think you're too
worried about the battery door. The *ist-Ds door is better designed
than the D's and so far I've only managed to crack the *ist-D's door a
little bit...
(I think that made sense, but whoever came up this camera naming
convention at Pentax either didn't take into account the problems of
comparing the two camera models, or wished to avoid having people do it
entirely).

They got quite a deal if I can believe their story, Sorry.
