CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.2

out of 10

The good: Relatively compact; beginner-friendly mix of manual and automatic features.

The bad: Poor high-ISO photo quality; sluggish autofocus in dim lighting.

The bottom line: The compact and inexpensive Pentax *ist DS2 performs well and blends automation and manual controls into a beginner-friendly dSLR. For those approaching the dSLR market with a bag of Pentax lenses--or no lenses at all--it's worth considering.
