This is going to seem bad, but the *ist-D is now over 10 years old.
Heck I bet that the last one manufactured was probably produced in 2004
and that production run was sold until they ran out in 2006.
Last time I saw a *ist-D for sale at KEH it went for less than $90.00 in
EX condition.
Parts are probably made out of unobtainium at this point, and since one
can probably sell their *ist-D for ~90 dollars that's what the battery
door is worth.
I think you have two viable options. Haunt E-bay and KEH waiting for
one to show up to steal the battery cover from, (or replace the entire
camera with the new/old *ist-D), or replace it with a newer camera.
The K-50 is still being sold new and it's just shy of being a K-5II,
with a better viewfinder than the *ist-D and at it's current new price
it's practically being given away.

Good afternoon,
My daughter's istD has lost the screw-in cover for the button battery.
Does anyone have (1) the item, (2) a source for the item, or (3) an
idea for a substitute?
Cheers,
Rick
