Pentax *ist DL (with 18mm-to-55mm lens)
Editors' rating
Very good
7.2
out of 10
- The good: Svelte and affordable; logical interface; solid image quality.
- The bad: Autofocus sometimes flustered by difficult scenes; auto white-balance setting mediocre for outdoor shadows or artificial light.
- The bottom line: A great value per ounce, the Pentax *ist DL is a logical choice for budget-minded enthusiasts looking to upgrade to a digital SLR, but it's not ideal for shooting action or running on full auto.
