I think the K110D is much better than the DL on many counts. First, if the AF is anything like the K100D (which I own), it's *MUCH* better than what you get on the DL; second, it's much more future proof by being SDHC compatible. I personally don't think Pentax will ever release a firmware upgrade for anything before the K100/110Ds for SDHC compatibility, they can be forgiven for wanting people to buy their new cameras while they're in deep financial shit. In case you don't know, SDHC allows the camera to use SD cards larger than 2GB. Yet another advantage of the K110D over the DL is better JPGs from the K110. Pentax Photobrowser 3 with Silkypix RAW engine is also something that should count in favor of the K110D.
Also, she should wait a month for the prices of K110Ds to settle at around the DL level, while the DL will go even lower. So in the end, if she doesn't use AF much, won't be using cards bigger than 2GB and doesn't mind shooting RAW (if she wants the best image quality), the DL is a fine choice. -Asad Shel Belinkoff wrote: >A friend is looking for an entry level DSLR, and she likes my istDS.
