I recently bought a Pentax *ist DL2 in UK for £349 - a real bargain price! Very pleased with camera - it replaced my Fujifilm Finepix S9500 zoom digicam, which, although quite good, was a little over-rated in my opinion.
I've had 35mm SLR's in the past and find my new DSLR is very easy to use. Went to an airshow recently and took lots of photo's of planes.
I've read on other forums that my camera is not up to action shots - nonsense! It's fantastic when compared to a slow digicam and is about the same as my old Nikon F80. Sometimes I think that we forget just how good the features of new cameras are compared to the "good old days" when we had to do everything manually.
I was considering waiting for the K100D with SR but felt that the extra cost was not justified in my case (I've got a really good tripod for steady shots and this has always served well in the past). The remaining features of the *ist DL2 and the K100D/K110D seem identical.
Might want to re-consider though when K10 is released!
