Great DSLR . . . Excellent valueStrengths: o Ease of use o Shake Reduction for blurr-free images o Feature packed automated settings o Flexible manual control (when desired) o Sharp, crisp, true-color images o Multiple battery choices Weakness: o NONE This camera is a great way to transition from SLRs to DSLRs. It has wonderful pre-programmed modes to help the novice photographer get great shots, and also gives the experienced photographer the creativity of many manual settings/combinations (when desired). I've had my K100d for eight weeks and couldn't be happier. You also get a wide choice of lens options since it will allow the use of older...

K100D cameraStrengths: price, shake reduction(SR), compatible with old lens, decent noise control, AA battery, Weakness: focus under low light, less control buttons, white balence, small buffer Overall a solid performer, easy to carry, kit lens is better than Canon's, 4 NiMH AA can last 500 shots which is enough for a normal day. If you are on trip, some CRV3s will be a wise choice. How useful is SR? Once you use it, you won't be able to live without it. SR of K100D works better at tele end, at 200mm I can get some decent handheld 1/10 shots which are at least 4 stops better, however at...

Pentax K100D, the best value in all of digital...Strengths: Great Value Anti Shake Awesome Viewfinder Lens compatibility AA battery use Weakness: Only 6MP The K100D is my second digital SLR (first one was an Olympus E-500 which is also an excellent camera). The K100D has all the important features an entry level DSLR should have and can go head to head with the best from Canon and Nikon. There are 2 key advantages with the Pentax that smoke the Digital Rebel and the D50, AS and a gorgeous viewfinder. I switched to Pentax because of availability of...

Versatile tool for photographers on a budgetStrengths: Handling, shake-reduction, price, lens compatibility Weakness: None so far When I first decided to purchase a DSLR a few months back (after my trusty Minolta DiMAGE 7i gave up the ghost), I spent countless hours comparing the specifications of entry-level offerings from all major companies and speculating how they would affect my future photography experience. Seeing that the agony was not getting me anywhere, I decided to look at my old pictures and see how a new...

K100 dlsr review 12/30/06Strengths: Size, antishake, lens compatability, feels very well balanced. Weakness: Blinking of subjects during flash photography. 18 - 55 lens vignettes with a UV filter at 18mm setting. The k100 does very well for outdoor photography. The antishake feature works well and several hand held photos taken at 1/4 second were pretty sharp. Some users complain about slow focusing in low light... mine searches a bit, but about the same as my film slr so it's something I'm already used to. The optional 360fgz flash has IR assist which helps. What I was not expecting was the new flash...

Amazing camera with SR magic; all your Pentax lenses...Strengths: Shake Reduction 2.5" LCD with 230k pixels resolution Bright Viewfinder, 0.85x (though pentamirror) Interface is pretty good 18-55mm lens is better then the Canon and Nikon's 18-55 kits. Weakness: AF hunts in very low light (AF is very good in bright light) To reach ISO settings etc you press "Fn" and then any of the 4 arrow keys, not when you just press any of the arrow buttons (stupid!!) I've had the camera for about two days now, taken some 290 pics and I'm pretty excited about it. Its price is pretty competitive and it offers Shake Reduction CCD (which means all Pentax lenses are now image stabilized!! even the oldest Pentax lenses are compatible with this camera!!) Canikon's offerings are more expensive; they're bigger companies and want you to pay for the brand name, Pentax...

PENTAX K100DStrengths: Low noise, shake reduction, backward lens compatibilty, lovely images, best value for money Weakness: Same as all DSLR's - too big and heavy, too expensive for what they are IMAGE QUALITY My original plan was to buy the K100D body and use my old lenses until I had saved up for a top quality 18-200 zoom. However, I could get the package with the Pentax 18-55mm for only £20 more than the body only, a no brainer. So how good is this bundled lens. My main concern was that it might provide a resolution lower than the sensor could capture. I also tested my manual 50mm...

Pentax K100D 6M with shake reduction DSLRStrengths: Price, Shake Reduction, Large and bright LCD, Decent viewfinder, Decent kit lens for starter, Backward compatable lenses, Natural picture tones and decent noise control. Weakness: Slower focus in low light compared to other competitors, Small buffer. Pentax K100D is my first DSLR camera. It is very well constructed.(not cheap plastic) It is not too bulky or heavy. I picked this camera because of its SR and faster focus compared to the Pentax DL and DS. I shot some graduation pictures with this camera, it did not fail me. The pictures came out sharp and natural without much need of modification. I like pentax's color. With all the features...

Pentax K100DStrengths: well constructed, large LCD, bright view finder, lots of inexpensive lens out there, SR works Weakness: focus is still sort of slow, noise at ISO1600, shallow buffer, focus assist light utilizes build-in flash, poor continuous shooting speed Pentax K100D makes a very good beginner's DSLR. Good ergonomics. The control settings are not as handy, but for a beginner that is less an issue. If you do not want to invest a lot of money in photography, then pentax is your perfect choice.

Pentax K100D
The Pentax K100D is a camera that should certainly be taken into consideration if you are looking for an attractively priced DSLR, and want to, for instance, take the step from a compact camera to a digital SLR. Top

Pentax K100D
Because of its 6.1-megapixel sensor, you won’t be able to enlarge the K100D’s images as much as you can with a higher resolution camera, but for users who want a DSLR, and all of the flexibility that it provides, the K100D is a great entry-level camera, and at an unmatched price. Top

DCRP Review: Pentax K100D
I pretty much covered all the negative points about the K100D in the preceding paragraphs. With a street price of a little over $600 (with the kit lens), the Pentax K100D is quite a bargain. It doesn't have the resolution of most of the competition, but it offers solid build quality, great photo quality, and image stabilization for not much money. If you've got a Pentax lens collection this... Top

You get more than what you give
Strengths: Robust, Beautiful, Kit lens is great, Shake-reduction, user-friendly, AA batteries, 2.5inch LCD, lens compatibility
Weakness: battery life when shake-reduction on
I would like to start by saying that this camera is definitely worth buying. If photography is your main occupation, you may want to go with other camera. But if you need an SLR for hobby and general photo needs, than freely go with Pentax K100D.
