Pentax *istD Digital SLR Camera

Review: I had a chance to use the Pentax *istD Digital SLR camera over the last weekend. It is owned by a relative of mine, who has been using it in the full auto mode.

Finally, I've got it! So, here's my *ist D review:-

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: For old Pentax SLR users, it's a no-brainer. For new DSLR users, it's indeed very worth for considering. For old Canon and Nikon SLR users, they probably won't jump ship.
Review: After several brief trials during these few months, I finally got my *ist D on the 10th of January. And now, I have already used it to shoot hundreds of wonderful photos. In this review, I shall focus mainly on my personal observations and findings...

The first Pentax digital SLR - great camera, weird name!

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: A near-great digital SLR, especially recommended for those with a large investment in Pentax-compatible lenses and accessories.
Review: First, a little background to put this review into perspective....

I've been a fairly sophisticated amateur film photographer for more years than I care to admit. I own 3 Pentax bodies (ME, LX and 645) and many Pentax-compatible lenses,...

Very intuitive

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would (and have) recommended this camera to friends and family because it's been easy to use and gives great results.
Review: I am much more of an amateur photographer than some of the prior reviewers, so I won't get into the level of technical detail they have. I have used a lot of point and shoot cameras (print and digital), and have an 11-year-old Nikon SLR print camera...

Beautiful Images - no plastiky digital imaging, natural colors, contrast and sharpness.

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2007
Review: Very pleasing images without added artificial saturation, contrast or sharpness. Very pleasing images and good natural tones, especially on faces.

Pentax *ist D

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2005
Review: I use my *IST D for night time photography. I have found that when using the bulb exposure with a tripod mount 50 MM lens @ 2.8, I can expose up to 20 seconds without much star trailing. Milky Way shots on the tripod start to show color and much...

Best camera ever

Date of Review:  May 4, 2004
Review: This is my third digital camera and the best one. I tried different functions (not all though as it is only one month old) and the quality is perfect. The body size is small and handy and convenient in use. The viewfinder is very bright and clear...

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2004
Review: After 30 years of using Pentax SLRs with Kodak film and a half dozen lenses to produce beautiful photos and slides, I now have a digital SLR that produces beautiful, faithful photos with the gorgeous look of Kodachrome, but with the advantages of...
