Pentax *ist DL Review at Photographic Magazine

Mark Goldstein | Digital SLR Cameras | November 14, 2005 | 0 Comments

Pentax *ist DLPhotographic Magazine have reviewed the new entry-level Pentax *ist DL digital SLR camera. The Pentax *ist DL is a 6.1 megapixel DSLR which features a 2.5 LCD screen and light 16 ounce body.

” Featuring a tiny body with a high-rigidity stainless steel chassis and metal lens mount, the DL felt better in my hands than the DS or original *ist D did. While I found the others difficult to hand hold steady with a long lens attached, the DL somehow seemed easier to manage. And I love the big LCD monitor with its larger menu type. The controls are easy to figure out and operate. I did manage to pop the SD card door open a few times while hiking with the DL and another camera around my neck, but otherwise encountered no ergonomic problems.”
