Pentax *ist DS

Test av SpotPhoto: Pentax *ist DS hos Spotphoto.

Pentax ist* DS er en interessant outsider som lenge lå godt an prismessig, men med introduksjonen av Canon 350D til under 7000,- , og Nikon D70 i samme leie, samt Olympus E300, ned mot 6000,- kommer Pentax til kort når *ist DS nærmer seg 9000,-.

Let's sum up. Pentax *ist DS is in no way better than the competition. It does not have any special features or is really above others in certain respect. But body that handles well, good menu system and good picture quality mean that this is an overall good contender in entry-level DSLR market. The only minus in my opinion was slow autofocus. As Mike Johnson wrote in his review of the same camera, it's the K1000 of digital SLR. If you have Pentax lenses, get it.
