My Photo Equipment:

Pentax ist-D Digital SLR

    The Pentax ist-D has an odd name but produces first-rate images with its 6-megapixel sensor. I like to go to wild, hard-to-reach places for nature photography so this camera has a number of appealing characteristics: It's small, light, ruggedly built and doesn't require unique, proprietary batteries that you can only find at specialty photo stores.

Another huge advantage of the ist-D is its compatibility with older k-mount lenses: Even the oldest manual focus k-mount lenses will work (though obviously only in manual focus mode). The sheer number of lenses available from Pentax and other manufacturers is staggering.
