Pentax *ist DS2
Editors' rating
Very good
7.2
out of 10
- The good: Relatively compact; beginner-friendly mix of manual and automatic features.
- The bad: Poor high-ISO photo quality; sluggish autofocus in dim lighting.
- The bottom line: The compact and inexpensive Pentax *ist DS2 performs well and blends automation and manual controls into a beginner-friendly dSLR. For those approaching the dSLR market with a bag of Pentax lenses--or no lenses at all--it's worth considering.
