I still enjoy using the *ist DS body. It is delightfully small and compact.
A friend loaned me a K100D body to test for an afternoon. It is slightly larger/heavier than the *ist DS. Autofocus is slightly faster. The viewfinder is slightly brighter but also slightly smaller and not quite as contrasty. The AntiShake is a useful addition. But fit it to a tripod, put the same lens on it, focus it properly and get the exposure right ... there is no difference at all in a RAW exposure file. A little faster writes to card memory, supposedly, but a smaller capture buffer so it's poorer on sequences. I didn't feel the AS and small improvement in AF speed balanced where the DS was at least as good or the expense of an upgrade. If I didn't own a DS, it would have been a good buy.
