Re: Pentax *ist DSLR

I agree with what has been said.

I bought a 6 Mpx K100D Super last year (slightly better than istD in many respect), yet I'm feeling that it's slowly becoming inadequate for what I shoot, and I'm already looking around to see what I can find.

Mind you, it's an excellent camera, but 6 Mpx are a little too few to give you some cropping space if need be (and believe me, sometimes you can't do that while you shoot: too much people, crowd barriers, fast-happening event, "wrong" lens on camera and no time to change, or a simple afterthought...)

Given that you can find a K-x (complete with lens) on eBay for less than 300E (and there are many of them), I wouldn't think twice about it.
