This isn't the best audience to address your question. Below I'm adding some links to forums on photography websites that are dedicated to Pentax dSLRs. http://www.dcresource.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28 http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1036 A few thigs I have read in the course of my research that you should know: 1. Everyone raves about the viewfinder on Pentax dSLRs; they're supposed to be much more comfortable to use than other entry dSLRs. 2. Pentax has a number of versions, and most people say the DL was not an improvement, so I think you're right to stick with DS. 3. I read a thread about limited availability of DS2, perhaps related to some weird marketing strategies and a partnership with Samsung. Here's the thread: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...hread=17303307 People at those forums should be able to address your question. -Matt |
Make sure your current Pentax lenses are compatible with the DSLK. I am not familiar with Pentax, but as a general rule older lenses may not be compatible.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it!

I read that the Pentax dSLR is compatible with all Pentax K-mount lenses (but keep the ~1.5x magnification in mind). I got one of the last Minolta dSLRs (now that Sony has taken over) because it accepts all A-mount lenses, and I have successfully used some that are over 20 years old. I think Pentax has the same advantage.
