a little underexposed on certain shots

I have been an amateur photographer for over 30 years and have mostly worked with film for my "good" photography efforts. I have been using digital Point and Shoot cameras for the past several years, but recently decided to replace my 35mm SLR with a "real" camera. Very glad I did.

This model in the D-series camera range (D, DS, DS2, DL, DL2) is a truly capable and competent performer. I've had mine for close on 18 months now, so this is not a review based on the first rush of excitement. The very first impression is one of quality, with a solid, well-engineered body that has...

I take a lot of digital photos, and I mean a lot. I run a cross country and track and field web page for our local area. I attend cross country and track meets and take a lot of "action" photos. I have been using a 4 mega pixel point and shoot for the last four years and while it did ok, there were...

Cons
No Panorama Assist
Recommended it?
Yes
I wanted to step up to a SLR digital camera for my job and I had four fine Pentax lenses from the film days gathering dust. You can tell where this is going. When the Pentax *istDL came out in January 2006 at a good price point, I took the leap. B&H Photo sold me the camera with a Pentax 18-55 lens...
