Re: Upgrading from *IST DS to Kr?

Of all the digital cameras I've owned, the Pentax *ist DS has to be the favorite. I still have it. I don't use it at all these days, and it's not worth selling.

The Kr is almost similar in size, but as you said the view finder is a huge down grade. If you don't mind a bit bigger camera, I would get a used K20D... you should be able to get a good one for under $300.
