Re: Pentax *ist DSLR

I have owned three of these bodies. I sold two, replaced with the K-5, but I still have one, with a grip. It works well. The main complaints are low-light noise and the screen, which by today's standards is almost laughable.

That said, the body got used at a recent wedding shoot, and the photos looked fine.

If it is in good condition, at the right price, go for it. I never had a single glitch out of any of mine, and, in good light, the results can be quite shockingly good.

Plus, none ever had a FF or BF issue (wish I could say that about the K-5).
