Pentax K10D

 

The PENTAX K10D digital SLR features an array of PENTAX innovations including 10.2 effective megapixels and a PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system that effectively offers a... more...2.5 to 4 stop advantage for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as macro and telephoto photography or low light settings without a flash. Also featured is a newly developed Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME) designed exclusively for PENTAX digital SLR cameras to produce well-balanced, true-to-life images. PENTAX also incorporated a new high performance 22-bit A/D converter to quickly transfer images with accurate color tones and richer gradation from the CCD to the imaging engine. The new Dust Removal (DR) system incorporating PENTAX-original Special Protect (SP) coating helps keep the CCD surface dust-free, and adds a shift mechanism to shake dust off the CCD. All this is housed in a dependable dust-proof, weather-resistant body construction featuring 72 seals throughout the camera to allow photographers to continue shooting even in dusty or rainy environments.

Full review
I picked up this camera in December after looking at the Canon's and Nikon's. I was skeptical at first because I had not heard much about Pentax Digital, but after hearing all the hype I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.
At first I was a little overwhelmed with all of the buttons and options. I actually was about to send it back, but after reading the manual a few times and surfing the forums, I kinda figured things out. There are a lot of options to do one thing. So its really however you want to operate the camera.
I think what made this camera stand out from the others was the price and the quality. It is a very sturdy and heavy. Something you get out of $1000+ cameras, but for $700. I was also pleased with the built -in image stabilization. I can shoot at much slower speeds without a tripod, maybe 2 f-stops. I rarely require a tripod unless it is night or studio.
Overall I would highly recommend this camera to the amateur and professional alike.
