I have the Pentax DS too. Why? It is a small all-round camera. The noise level is very much the same as the one of the Nikon D70 (raw images) and it was half the price of the Canon 20D. But the Pentax DS has two advantages over the Canon 20D and the Nikon D70.
1.) It has a spot meter.
2.) It light meter works with any lens (M42's etc.)/telescope. That makes things easy when you take a picture of bright objects like the moon. (through a telescope)
But of course the noise level is much lower on the 20D.
If I had more money to spend I would go for the most under estimated camera, the Konica/Minolta 7D. The noise level is lower than that of the 20D and it has the same light meter properties as the Pentax. The build in image stabilizer saves money when buying lenses.
