For anyone looking to get into the dSLR realm, this is a good camera. Buy the body only and start looking around for any of the Pentax lenses from the last 40 years. Personally I like the fact that it is 4 AA batteries. Makes it more universal and cheaper to upgrade the battery capacity. I'm not sure what is different between this one and the *IST DL2, there are very few differences, probably the autofocus is a little less advanced. I'm almost tempted to buy this camera.
The *ist DL retains the 2 1/2-inch LCD monitor and firmware features of the *ist DS2, but offers a reduced cost by substituting a pentamirror for the *ist DS2's pentaprism, reducing the number of AF points to 3 from the *ist DS2's 11, and reducing the continuous shooting depth to 5 best quality JPEG or 3 RAW images.
