To me, the istDL is hardly any different than the isDS, except that it 
has a larger LCD in the back and that it has a mirror prism instead of a 
solid glass one.

My daughter loves hers and has taken hundreds if not thousands of photos 
of her baby/toddler with it. The kit lens delivers excellent quality 4x6 
photos.  I don't know about the quality of larger photos 'cause she 
hasn't made any.  I gotten great 11x14s from my isDS, haven't needed 
anything larger.

Both the DL and DS are 6mp, the K10d is 10mp.
