DigiCamReview has posted a review about Pentax *ist DL, the most affordable D-SLR camera on the market. The digicam sports a 6.1 megapixel CCD, 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a lens equivalent to 15-55mm on a 35mm camera. Measures 125 x 92.5 x 67 mm and weighs approx. 605 grams (including lens, batteries, and media), Pentax *ist DL digital camera is available from around £375 (£400 with lens kit).

Excerpt from the review:

The Pentax *ist DL Digital SLR is a great digital camera. It feels very comfortable in hand, and produces very natural pictures with little noise and rich pleasing colours. This camera is very easy to use (in auto mode), and would definitely suit a beginner. The camera offers adequate battery life, with very good controls and good build quality. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants great control without the hassle. Professional photographers might want to compare the camera with other professional DSLR cameras before purchase. If you like SLR cameras but want to stop worrying about film, this is well worth considering.
