It's a DS actually, not a D. They had a D there for a while that I'd looked at (For $250), but overall I just don't like the D as much as the DS (I've owned both in the past, the D was my first DSLR and first Pentax, I owned a DS briefly before getting my K10D), it's less responsive despite the better control layout and certain things, like the ISO setting method, are not well thought out. The DS also has a nicer grip. -- M.
