Best Bang for the BuckStrengths: Solid performance. Nice image quality. Cheaper than other entry level DSLRs Weakness: Heavy. Menu system not as intuitive. This camera will get you the best bang for the buck. pentax did not cut corners in terms of features, despite its bargain price. I just jumped into DSLR and i'm very satisfied with my K100D. Shake Reduction works well and image quality is great. AA battery usage is also a big plus since you can find it anywhere if you run out of batteries. Maha NiMH recommended. With the rebate going on right...

Value Good Value DSLRStrengths: Shake reduction!! multi-zone AF, construction, and large LCD. Lower price than competitor. Support SDHC. Weakness: A bit heavy. Difficult to focus in low light condition. Not variety of Pentax lens choices. Poor battery life. The stabilizer is the real useful feature for indoor, non-flash photos. It allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds. That's also great for things like museums, that don't allow flash photos. The camera construction is solid, and a bit heavier than you might think because of its metal interior. 4 AA batteries, easy to get, NiMH rechargable are cheap, but they weigh a bit more and don't last as...

Affordable DSLR, Best Quality vs. PriceStrengths: Low Price. Good Quality. Shake Reduction. Large LCD. Bright View Finder. 11-point AF Weakness: Bad Menu. Top LCD panel no Backlight. Lack buttons for quick settings. This is the second Pentax DSLR I bought. Compare to the previous *ist DL, K100D has more AF points (11 selectable vs. 3 auto) and the most important upgrade, shake reduction. This means all your lenses become image stabilized!!! See Canon's IS and Nikon's VR lenses' prices, we really need to thank Pentax. Averagely, you can get 2~3 stops down when you set SR to on. This is very useful when you...

Great for a beginnerStrengths: Picture Quality, Easy Menu, SD memory, AA batteries Weakness: Burst Buffer Size, Less Lens Selection [Background] I have used point-&-shoot digital cameras, but decided to enter DSLR due to limited functionality on point-&-shoot, and the affordable price. I went to an aquarium one day, and couldn't really take good pictures. When I didn't use flash -> the picture was all blurry. When I used flash -> everything except people was too dark. [Positive Side] Now, that I have a nice DSLR with a nice...

Pentax K100DStrengths: This is my fourth in the Pentax *istD series of 6 megapixel DSLR's and the best one so far. I decided to purchase this one to take advantage of the SR feature that is new in this camera. Weakness: Since this is the latest in the series, Pentax has improved on their past cameras and has avoided any major problems. The only fault I would find with it is the PTTL flash which causes people to blink Six megapixels is enough for just about everybody. The K100D is one of the best if not the best of the six megapixel cameras. The image quality is just about as good as it gets. The SR feature really helps you get a good sharp picture in low light. High ISO noise is very well controlled allowing ISO 800 and 1600 images to be of good usable quality. The new larger LCD is a real plus as is the nice...

K100D - a suitable upgrade to the DSStrengths: SR, inproved grip, larger LCD, more options, nicer shutter sound Weakness: lack of external controls, no future FA* support, poor buffer, slow AF, crippled autofocus system I was a DS user for 2 years. My equipment included kit lens, Sigma 24-70f2.8, Zenitar 16mm, Pentax A50 f2 prime, and Pentax A70-210 f4 tele. I had certain qualms with the DS, mainly for poor AF speed. I upgraded to the K100D and was very surprised with the subtle changes and improvements. Handling ergonomics: A big improvement over the DS. The grip is very comfortable. The quality of the build is...

Cool and Brilliant, Improved Shake Reduction (same...Strengths: (1) Shake Reduction: The K100D's Shake Reduction works very well, and is probably worth the extra $100 if you can afford it over the K110D. (2)AA-Battery Power Supply (=easy replacing on emergency) Weakness: (1) Pause between focus and shooting in Single Servo AF (2) Little bit slow AF, especially indoors I just bought K100d without a typical bundle lens(=Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm). Instead of that I chose other third-party lens(Tamron 18-200mm) It is better in my thingking. This K100d body looks great, handles well, and delivers images that exceed what I have seen from the company's other digital SLRs. As far as specifications are concerned, the Pentax K100D seems to be a mid-segment camera. However,...

A dream of a CameraStrengths: Size, Controls layout, ergonomics, Shake reduktion build in, Build quality, image quality, great dynamic range and bundled software. Pentax K mount. And the list goes on Weakness: It is only a 6 MP sensor (See comments below), buffer size and burst capasity. This camera is great and were at least to me the perfect choise. Being new to dSLR I had to read up a lot, but more importantly I had to firstly consider what kind of photographs I am shooting. 200 something photos later, here is my review. First things first, I am using either a 43mm f/1,9 prime lens or a 28-100mm f4-5,6 zoom lens. Both made by pentax. The Upsides: Well firstly this camera seems...

K100DStrengths: can use all my lens, from the 35mm days, the price is going to be hard to beat, even better than i had figured after reading some of the reviews. Weakness: the size is a little large, not weight-just the physical size. glad i purchased so far, takes excellent pictures for my taste. also the quickest digital i have used to date, not sure why i would need anything faster. also glad i kept all my lenses from the zm days. the auto focus does seem just a little slower than the orignal, but this is the biggest neg. i could think of to make this a believable review. not a professional by any means, but i do know what...

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

Pentax K100D SLR
Strengths: Good price and availability of accessories. Image stabilization feature works good.
Weakness: Camera seems a bit large/bulky, but not too bad.
This camera takes great pictures and I have been very satisfied for the past few weeks I have been using it. The camera powers on quickly, and the menus are fast and easy to navigate. All of the controls are fairly easy to find and work well. I was especially surprised at how well the image stabilization feature works. It provides a dramatic improvement in pictures taken in low light and/or...
