The *ist DS produces a 6.1 megapixel resolution image. Pentax was late getting into the digital SLR market and the *ist DS was released in 2004.

In September 2005 the DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association), a world-wide organization of collaborating websites announced that Pentax has received their first DIWA Award for a D-SLR camera. The *istDS model was awarded with a Silver medal for outstanding test results.
