the istD, DS, and DS2 are essentially the same camera but with better finders. The istDS is probably the best buy on the used market but alas harder to find.

They will just reorganize. The istDL is a 6 mpxl camera with pretty good high iso quality. I used to use mine at 3200 with very acceptable results. Also, it works with IR filters a 1000 percent better than the K10/K20. It also does really good B&W's. It is significantly smaller and lighter than the K10/20 versions as well.
