I've never owned a DS, but I have owned a pair of *istD cameras. And I now use a K10D. The K10D is capable of focusing in low-light situations where the D failed me. I also find it's able to stop action with continuous autofocus much better than the D. I would guess that indicates that it's faster. I'd still like better autofocus performance, but the K10D is much more useful than the D in this regard. Again, I haven't tried a DS. I suspect that it's the same as the D.
