Thanks for posting. My first digital slr was the Pentax*istD which was the first Pentax Digital SLR. I still have it and it works beautifully with many pro features.Mine takes compact flash cards not sd. I didn't know this one was limited to such small sd cards.KUTGW. Geoff
That’s what always struck me, pity they didn’t make a similar aesthetic with better materials. Grip is great though, loved the colors I got today out of camera
I just received my silver *ist DS today, which was won from eBay. It is minty looking and working nicely. I can’t wait to take some RAW shots paired with my DA 16-45mm f4 in the future, to see what an old CCD sensor can deliver!
The 16-45mm should pair nicely with it, CCD colours are nice just don’t go higher than 800 ISO a lot of my shots were 400 which were still clean but 1600 starts to have issues depending on the scene
I think my phone is much better. Why do you say this is for beginners, don`t they deserve proper quality. This thing is big, heavy an completely outdated, which you can clearly see when viewing the fotos.

Update the firmware and you can use larger SD cards.
