Pentax *ist DL2 Digital SLR Review

Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new easy to use Pentax *ist DL2, a 6 megapixel digital SLR, designed to be easy to use by beginners, it features an Auto mode, 8 scene modes, and takes AA batteries, and SD memory cards. The camera is currently one of the cheapest digital SLRs available at around £349 including kit lens.

"The *ist DL2 is the very epitome of the entry-level DSLR, and that includes the price. It is available exclusively from Jessops, so there are no dubious online discount deals available, but even so it is priced at an incredibly competitive £349 including a high quality 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Pentax DA lens. Compare that with £393 for the Nikon D50 or £485 for the (8 megapixel) Canon EOS 350D with similar sized lenses and the DL2 looks like a very tempting package."
