This is Samsung's version of the Pentax *ist DL........2006-12-21

It's worth looking for reviews on the *ist DL too, because it's the same camera. There are slight cosmetic differences, but nothing that affects the image quality, operation or accessories. It takes the same lenses. I've used the Pentax version and it is an excellent DSLR. It's one of the smallest available, which is very nice - especially if you use it with one of Pentax' pancake lenses, which are available at 21, 40 and 77mm focal lengths. With one of those mounted, it's scarcely bigger than a point&shoot. These cameras are much more comfortable to hold than the Canon Digital Rebel XT and XTi, which are other small-size SLRs.

If you're looking at this, you may also wish to look at Pentax' new 6 megapixel models, the K100D and K110D. The K110D is an upgrade to the *ist DL, while the K100D adds image stabilization. Both are pretty much the same body as the *ist DL and GX-1L, and the image processing has been improved in the opinion of many reviewers.

Great 1st DSLR.......2006-11-05

This is my first DSLR and my first SLR type camera. I love it! And am still learning about it.

The only frustrating thing is that it doesn't seem to have the ability to use the digital screen as a view finder. I am, however, enjoying actually using the regular view finder for a change.
