The DL2 sports 5 AF sensor points, while the DL has three. The DL2 has this quirky "preview" function where you can trigger the camera to make a capture and show you the histogram when you trigger the DOF preview switch - but apparently, no way to save this image if you like it. Custom function lets you set this back to normal optical DOF preview. The DL2 also boasts new image processing algorithm/engine, so hopefully it'll have the processing from the A10 and all our Pentax JPEG woes will be gone. There's also a _possibility_ of faster write speeds, faster processing, etc, since this body was developed in conjunction with Samsung. But we'll have to wait till someone actually buys one before we know for sure ...
 

Hello everyone.. I'm just got my *istDL.. :D

Will try RAW, but I'm on the lazy side so will probably wanna shoot Jpeg most of the time with minimal adjustments in PS.. ;p I've read that the best setting for this would be to set to Natural Color and up Sharpness to +1.. is that correct?

Wat about colorspace.. stick to sRGB? :think:
 

where you get it? what's the price?I might like to buy one too.

sRGB will be good enough but you should take RAW to get the most out of Pentax... the JPEG quality is only average but with RAW, you get so much more details.

Went for a test run at east coast on sat.. Shot at sRGB, natural setting, +1 on sharpness. Quite happy with the results overall. At least now i am happy liao. Have not been happy since selling my Olympus E10 away and trying other prosumer cams.. ;p

The E10 is a solid camera.. I even thought of buying the E20 after I missed the E10 so much.. but in the end decided to go for the DL.. ;)
