Hey Folks,
I've ordered an *ist-DS from Buydig, and will see if my experiences are
easier than Shel's.
It turns out that I really need to hit the ground running with this digital
camera (I've got a very limited time to get a bunch of images together for a
book I'm working on), so I apologize for this newbie-ola question...but this
listserve is where I turn to when I have pentaxian questions...
Are all SD cards more or less equal, given storage volume? (I see B&H has
some 1Gig Sandisks from $88, which looks ok.) I have downloaded the pdf
manual on the DS, and estimate 1Gig would hold about 86 RAW images. If this
disk fills up in the field, can I slip in a new one, just like changing
film?
Thanks all!

SD cards were not created equal. You'll want to buy the higher-end cards
from a good manufacturer to get the best reliability and write
performance. Lexar and SanDisk are the two standards, but ATP and
Transcend also make excellent cards.
