The DS is a superb little camera, I very much liked mine and still miss it in some ways. From a straight body-design standpoint it's actually my favourite of the Pentax bodies (Best grip design in particular). Pentax could do worse than to stuff the K20D' imaging system and SR into a DS body as sell it as the K300D, with it being placed between the K20D and K-m in the lineup. -- M.
