The DS has the same LCD as the D, no? I've been pleased with
mine, but the later larger LCDs (in the DL and the DS2) are definately
nicer. ANY of them are nicer than the absolutely hideous LCD in the Canon
Rebel and Rebel XT.
Another factor is longevity in memory cards. Granted they're not
that much anymore, but Pentax has clearly implied they're going SD.
