Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pentax K100D Super 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction (Body Only)
Customer Review: Best Bang-for-Buck Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Originally purchased this camera as lighter weight "carry-it-everywhere" kit, and I could NOT be happier with the camera. The functionality of this is almost as good as the 3x more expensive K10, with enough user settings to keep you busy getting accustomed to them. The manual is easy to read, and there are many cool things you can tweek. Lightweight, easy to hold, and it will accept ANY Pentax lens ever made if you don't mind manual focusing on some.
SUMMARY: If you are a pro, and NEED to sell 36"x60" enlargements of your Grand Canyon panoramic shots, then you aren't considering this camera anyway. If you are not that kind of pro, you can't go wrong with this kit. When you get the money together, get Pentax's excellent 55-300 zoom to compliment your kit. With these two lenses, you'll have everything you'll need until you are ready to start spending big bucks.
