a DSLR small enough to fit in my backpack pocket:http://www.pbase.com/jeffreyg
I shoot RAW only and use adobe elements 3 to proccess them all.

I Love this DSLR. You can visit my gallery athttp://www.pbase.com/ssz with a lot of High definition samples. I explain (in french with screenshots) how to use Pentax Photo Laboratory 3 and RAW PEF Files.

I have taken just under 21,000 pictures with this camera and it still works great. I am an outdoors shooter even in the Extreme Cold and this camera works. Best feature with Pentax is that they are light, well built and it is small enough to take anywhere.

I've been really happy with my DS so far. It's so versatile. I love it (and it's become a bit of an obsession, I've got to admit.)

This is great, especially with the great Pentax glass work.
Lots of Ds work onhttp://www.pbase.com/jl2

I highly recommend the DS, it's bright viewfinder and great backward lens compatibility make it a real winner!
Either checkhttp://www.culinair.com orhttp://www.pbase.com/mousehill for a collection of my recent images.

Advantages over the competition:
-Large bright viewfinder : makes manual focusing easy
-Strong build, nice texture
-use of all K-mount MF lenses
-Mirror lock-up (which d70 lacks)
-compact, yet comfortable to grip
-uses AA, Lithium ion, or CR-V3 batteries: perfect for trips.

It's a great camera. I had a Canon 350D but after back focusing issues and problems with manual focus (you can't see well enough to focus with it), I went for Pentax *st DS. I now have a great lens collection of fast primes (manual focus for the most part) which would cost many thousands in EOS mount. Moreover the *st DS is a much tougher camera than the 350D (which felt like it came out of a cereal box and would break at any time - warning Canon will always blame the user when a consumer-level camera breaks down - and those 350D's will start breaking soon).

Totally happy with this camera though.

A great little camera that does the job.

Reasons
1- use of older pentax k-mount lenes
2- Pentaprism with lit 11 point AF points - far brighter than the pentamirror
3- cost for quality - this is a great entry level digital SLR

thinking of this one too, can anyone give 3 reasons of buying this? :)
