Full review

I bought this camera about 14 months ago and mode a couple of thousands photos with it so far. 6 mega pixel doesn't sound much, but is definitely enough. Who honestly ever makes printouts lager then 24x16"?
But the "disadvantage of the low number of pixels make some other advantages possible: ISO3200 with very low noise, smaller, usable picture files etc.
Also the Share Reduction being built into the camera instead of the lenses (like Canon does) is a real buster. No matter what lens you use, new or old, AF or MF, they all come with share reduction included.
Great camera, just already obsoleted by the K100D Super or even the K200D, but product live cycles of digital cameras are just much shorter then the live cycle of the old analogue ones.
