Eat your heart out Canon & Nikon

byjzorns Nov 10, 2008
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Body-integral anti-shake, superior Pentax optics & build quality
Cons No anti-dust feature for the sensor
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my Pentax K100D when I was ready to move up from my Olympus superzoom "prosumer" point & shoot camera.

I bought it to get into digital SLRs. I already have an outstanding Olympus OM system for film, and a nice little Canon Elph for a pocket size digital. I wanted top-quality optics,... Read full review »

Cons Sometimes images come out underexposed<br>Annoying gel stripe on the left
Recommended it? Yes

I've had this camera for about two years and I am very pleased with it. I only paid around $280 for the whole kit, which was a great value. The choice was between a Canon S3 and the Pentax, and I went for this K100D and still haven't regretted it.

This camera is pretty easy... Read full review »

Great for beginner to advanced recreational photographers

bylab1172007 Oct 12, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Clean images, robust body, weather seals, unique exposure modes, selectable programs,...
Cons Soft images (need to shoot RAW), Average automatic white balance.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a very robust camera with both dust and weather seals. The camera also contains in-camera Shake Reduction, which allows all of your lenses to benefit from the technology. This is different from most Shake Reduction cameras in that the Shake Reduction is supplied in the lenses themselves... Read full review »

Great Camera from Pentax!

byjsauerii Mar 31, 2008
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Weather sealing, Feels great in hand.
Cons Soft default jpg pictures.
Recommended it? Yes

The main reason I went with this camera was the weather sealing and the fact it was very comparable in picture quality to its competitors.

The K10 feels great in your hands, it feels "real". Its nice to know when you are out shooting and it starts to sprinkle that your camera will be okay... Read full review »
