Lowest priced DSLR with all the feature you need!Strengths: Shake reduction / Good viewfinder / Good grip / Features / Good LCD Weakness: No wireless flash function with Pentax flash / No vertical grip available I purchased this little camera to back up my main (K10D). Soon I found out that this camera can do most of things that K10D does. Though it's outdated 6.1MP may disappoint you, but trust me, it's enough resolution for most weekend photograhper. I previously owned Pentax ist DL. Focusing speed was improved over DL. It's not the best in class though. The body design is almost identical with ist...

Pentax K100D Super DSLRStrengths: Build quality, picture quality, shake reduction in the body, price Weakness: Menu is a little awkward The difference between k100d and k100d super is that the super one has a dust removal system and is compatible with SD high capacity cards. I believe that there is way to upgrade firmware for k100d to make it compatible with SDHC too. In terms of functions, features and performance two models are pretty much identical. In short, this is a great camera. The build quality, from my view, is better...

Great Camera for Great Price!Strengths: Solid Built quality, Price, Dust Removal System Weakness: Heavy, Only 6.0 Megapixels I grew up using the Pentax K1000 film cameras, so it was natural for me to move up to the Pentax K100D SLR Digital cameras. I bought the K100D Super, and it is truly "Super"!!! Not only does it accept all my old K series lenses from my old film camera (saving me thousands of dollars), but it's easy to use. No sooner do you pull this out of the box do you immediately begin to realize how it works....

Excellent CameraStrengths: -Shake Reduction! - Dust Removal - Compatible with every pentax lens ever made - Pentax lenses are awesome - AA Batteries - Weakness: -6mp only (Thats fine with me) -I guess the Image buffer is slow for continuous shooting. This camera has been a revelation to me. As a point-and-shoot user for the past couple years, with the price drop of DSLRs and the updated technology which Pentax has introduced, I pulled the trigger on a DSLR which is IMO the best in its class. The amount of features on this camera is amazing. The anti-shake CCD and the Dust removal system are revolutionary and a step above other cameras. The...

Beautiful Camera for the unbeatable priceStrengths: 1) Price 2) Shake reduction 3) Dust cleaning system 4) Feel and size Weakness: 1) Uses AA batteries I bought the K100D Super, and it is truly "Super"!!! This is a great camera for the great price, The pictures are crisp, The construction is made of plastic but it looks rigid. With $100.00 rebate going on right now, you can own a digital SLR for the price of compact digital camera.

Great First Digital SLRStrengths: Price, Anti dust, Image stablization, can use AA batteries, strong flash Weakness: Only 6 megapixel, A tiny bit heavier then other digital slr, lack of charger and recharging batteries I have owned digital cameras since 2000 and have been inching to get into the expensive world of digital SLRs. I finally decided into the market once this camera was around $400-500 range. The learning curve has been quite steep, but fun. The camera has been for very easy to use and learn. The pictures are very crisp and clear. Under low light situations, the image stabilization is very useful! I...

good camera but poor customer serviceStrengths: does all I want at low price Weakness: non-existant customer service, camera menus hard to understand at first This comment is for beginners to DSLR photography. I bought this k100d super because of the good reviews and due to having used a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera for 30 years. The k100d super takes beautiful photos.I love using the pict-bridge feature with my Canon printer. Its a real luxury to simply delete the photos I dont want and then print the good ones. My problem is with Pentax customer no...

Great up until it stopped working...Strengths: Crisp photos, many options on settings for a novice, on-body lcd meter, image stablization, built-in auto focus Weakness: No video caputre (like all DSLRs), stopped working when I needed it the most! The camera was great up until it stopped working, about 5 months after purchase. When it was working I've compared it to the Nikon D40 and I think it's far superior, more features for the same price. The added plus to a Pentax, so I've been told, is that this unit is backward compatible with ALL Pentax lenses ever made, even for old 35mm SLRs. Now on to the problem: the shutter gets stuck after a...

Pentax K100D Super Review
The new Pentax K100D Super is a modest upgrade of the popular K100D camera, with a dust removal system borrowed from the pricier K10D model, SDM (Supersonic Drive Motor) lens support and new fastest ISO speed of 3200. The K100D Super also has an aggressive price tag of less than £400 / $600 (including kit lens). This new version of the K100D is otherwise identical to its predecessor, so do the... Top

Excellent Product
Strengths: Fit and Finish - build quality is pretty nice, the price, it fits comfortably in my hand, and the fact that it uses AA batteries.
Weakness: The menus system is a little tough on my middle aged noggin. Instruction booklet confusing.
I have been quite pleased with my purchase thus far. I did a lot of online research prior to making my decision and generally most comments about the Pentax K100D Super are favorable. I had previously owned a Pentax ME Super 35mm SLR camera so I had no aversion to trying a Pentax product. I had limited access to DSLR cameras when I was shopping but I did handle the Sony A100 and the new A200, the...
