PENTAX is pleased to announce the addition of a silver-colored version to the popular PENTAX *istDS digital SLR camera. Named the PENTAX *istDS Silver, it offers the same user-friendly features and high-standard specifications as the original black-colored version, except for its body color. With a choice of two attractive colors, the *istDS now extends outstanding maneuverability, simplified operations and an affordable price to a broader range of quality-conscious digital SLR users.

Major Features of the *istDS Silver
» Attractive silver-colored body
In response to the request from many enthusiastic consumers, PENTAX designed a fashionable silver-colored body for the new *istDS Silver, offering a choice of a body color between silver and black to accommodate individual preferences and assure greater color conformity with lenses.

» Compact, go-anywhere design
Featuring a super-compact, ultra-lightweight body, the *istDS Silver offers outstanding portability to accompany the user anywhere. The combination of many downsizing technologies, including a high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis, multi-layered electronic circuit boards and high-density packaging technology, resulted in this extremely portable body, measuring only 125mm wide, 92.5mm high and 66mm thick and weighing a mere 505 grams without batteries and SD
memory card.

» High-definition, maximum-gradation images with 6.1 effective megapixels
Thanks to its large, high-performance CCD image sensor, the *istDS Silver offers 6.1 effective megapixels. Coupled with PENTAX's original image processing technology, it produces high-definition images rich in gradation and saturation.

» Compatibility with PENTAX interchangeable lenses
The *istDS Silver offers the outstanding benefit of lens interchangeability, allowing the user to take advantage of a wide selection of existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses to deal with diversified subjects and applications.*

*PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF- and KAF2-mount 35mm-format lenses can be used without an adapter
or modification. PENTAX screw-mount 35mm-format lenses and PENTAX 645- and
67-system lenses can be used with an adapter. Some functions may not be available with
certain lenses.
