The internet is full of anti Pentax readings, not hard to find,, just ask Ricehigh.
I shoot both Nikon and Pentax Dslr's and i can honestly say i have to post process less on my K10D shots than my D200 or D2H shots. Colour is a lot nicer out of the box so to speak. You won't get much for your istD anyway. Buy a Hoya R72 filter and have some IR fun.
