Late last week a friend took a look at my DS. She'll be looking for a digi around Christmas. She was quite impressed with the DS at first look - liked the weight and feel. It's interesting to note that she'd had a Pentax P&S film camera before, but hadn't thought at all about a Pentax DSLR. Her eyes really lit up when I mentioned the price ;-)) and explained the RAW format.
