And if someone wants to think about it, consider that the istD was their first DSLR, then think of what the competion's first DSSLR was like. That does say something positive about Pentax's engineering department.

I was in my local shop yesterday - mostly Nikon and Pentax, some Canon. They are selling about five D70's everyday. People just keep walking in a buying them. They think highly of the *istDS, but it doesn't sell anywhere like the D70. Pretty much the word is out in all media that photographers and would be photographers that the D70 is THE camera to buy. Pop Photography proclaimed it Camera of the Year. Size doesn't matter to most people at the time of purchase. Later on, when having to carry the extra they might care, but it is too late. The best Pentax can do with the *istDS is be respected. My shop thinks the DRebel is junk next to the DS and they are very willing to tell any potential customers. But they are really making their money on the D70. It could well be the camera that saved Nikon's hide.
