What it is
{"overview":"The Asahi Pentax *istDS is a digital SLR introduced in the mid-2000s, aimed at enthusiasts moving from film to digital. With only one wholesale auction data point on file, today it is difficult to give a reliable price range, and what a *istDS is worth in 2026 depends heavily on whether a kit lens, charger and battery are included.","buying_guide":"When inspecting a *istDS, check that the rear LCD is clear, the sensor is free of dust marks, and the shutter fires cleanly at all speeds.
