I had a chance to use the Pentax *istD Digital SLR camera over the last weekend. It is owned by a relative of mine, who has been using it in the full auto mode.

The camera uses an APS-sized CCD, which is larger than consumer digital cameras and lets you control depth of field much better... Read full review »
