Pentax *istDL The *istDL is a new member of the *ist family, here in silver and black. THE DL was launched in the summer of 2005 for $799/800 EUR – including lens. It is a Light version of the *istDS with a lower price due to a simplified design. The pentaprism viewfinder is replaced by a pentamirror with a lower image magnification (0.85x that was 0.95x in the *istDS), the 11-point autofocus has become three sensors, and the brighter focusing screen is non-interchangable. The Large LCD monitor, on the other hand, is now a respectable 2,5 inches. Other news are an Auto ISO setting, a spot AF mode, continous AF possible in all non-preset modes, and Swedish/Dutch menus. Impressions
Steve’s conclusions: We liked the *ist DS2 when we reviewed it in 2005, but thought it was a bit pricey at an MSRP of $799 without a lens. While the *ist DL offers nearly the same feature set with reduced performance, its $599 MSRP with the 18-55mm kit lens makes it a very good value. ––– Providing only 6-megapixels of resolution, the *ist DL may suffer in a direct comparison of specifications, but its low price, very good image quality, small size and light weight make it very worthy of consideration.
