Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to find these going so for cheap, I guess the K100D and K100D put a hurting on the earlier models but its a well kept secret that the K100D and K110D are not as good in the finder dept. as the D/DS/DS2/K!0D so if that wasnt so commonly unknown, I doubt the DS would be seeing prices as low as they are. I should add, I scoured for about 4 days, and this price is by far the best right now for the DS. The DS2 are difficult to find and about $200-$250 more when I did find them, I just couldnt justify that only for the larger color LCD but I would have liked one. there is also an easy to find Samsung the same as the DS2 but its going for just as much as the DS2s. K10D's are about $500 MORE at this point which may well be worth it but not for me right now. I want an aperture cam sensor for that price! jco
