This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensI bought this for my wife as her first endeavor with SLR. So far she has been extremely happy with the quality of the pictures and the features available on the camera.
This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensWe bought this camera as a way to introduce ourselves to SLRs, and it's wonderful so far! It is pretty easy to figure out and we've already been getting amazing pictures of our children. I just wish we'd gotten the camera sooner!
This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensThe padded neck strap for my Canon camera is awesome. It fits the back of my neck perfectly and the padding is nice and thick so it is comfortable on my neck. It is easy to attach and adjust. And when I am done using the camera, I can just pack the strap right into my carrying case with it. I recommend this product.
This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensI made the decision a few months ago that the time was right to buy a digital SLR. I considered a number of models. What sold me on this one was that I am able to use my very old, but very good, lenses. [...] I had 4 Pentax ME Super bodies from the 1980's. My lenses also date from that time.The manual was not very helpful in figuring this out. It does require a setting change and one can shoot in only manual focus mode with aperture priority. It's very much like shooting with the old ME's but with a 6.3 megapixel digital image as the result. From the menu, go to "Custom Setting," scroll down to "Using aperture ring," set to "Permitted."
This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensI first tried out this camera at a local camera store, and was impressed with its heft, its handling, and its surprisingly simple and intuitive LCD menu. I decided to take the plunge, and haven't looked back! The pictures are unfailingly good, and the camera performs just as capably as my old Canon (film) SLR. Better still, since it's digital, I can experiment, see the results immediately, and quickly delete my mistakes, and try again until I get it right. I can't help but think this will be a great tool for learning more about photography, and sharpening my skills. And at this price, it can't be beat! It's easily the most affordable dSLR on the market -- a terrific value for anyone, and an excellent piece of equipment for both beginners and advanced snapshooters eager to broaden their horizons.
This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensAfter reading the "Wired" magazine buyer's guide for digital cameras, wherein they rated the Pentax *ist-DL with 5 (out of 5) bars, the Canon Digital Rebel XT with 4.5 bars, the Nikon D50 with 4.0 bars and the Olympus e-volt E-300 with 3.5 bars, and awarded the Pentax the "Editor's Pick" award as the best of the bunch, I decided to give one a try. What an amazing little imaging machine. It is small, fast, and, although I have tried to fool the meter with strong backlights and partial frame lighting, I have been unsuccesful. For all those who have been fooled into thinking that Canon makes the best digital SLRs (they certainly spend the most on advertising), you should do your own research. Mine lead me to this Pentax.

This review is from: Pentax *ist DS 6.1MP Digital Camera with Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Digital SLR LensThis is a great camera and the complete package is just awesome. The battery life is amazingly incredible. When I first picked up the camera, it felt almost like a toy, but it works wonderful. Love the 75-300mm lens. The LCD is very helpful with the onscreen features. This is my first time ever owning an SLR and this is a great camera to have. Manual is very easy to understand, and anyone can pick up the camera and feel like a pro with it's ease of use and take great pictures. The quality of t...
