| gawrys's Full Review: Pentax *ist D Digital Camera |
After 30 years of using Pentax SLRs with Kodak film and a half dozen lenses to produce beautiful photos and slides, I now have a digital SLR that produces beautiful, faithful photos with the gorgeous look of Kodachrome, but with the advantages of digital photography. The colors are faithful, the exposures are excellent, and the features and handling leave nothing to be desired. I don't know what the reviewers who complained about lack of sharpness are talking about, but maybe they need to focus better. I'm glad i waited for a digital SLR, and I'm glad Pentax made one that uses all my trusty lenses. I don't know what I'll do with my old Pentax bodies, but I don't see any future for film when a digital camera performs this well. This new camera has revived an old hobby. I've already shot over 500 beautiful images in less than a month, and each new one is more breathtaking than the last.
