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 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.

    Beware Dealers and Battery claims!

    By Byron  Dec 13, 2006 | 9 out of 11 found this Pentax K10D review helpful

    Pros: Low Prices

    Cons: Hard sell

    Luckily, I didn't fall off the turnip truck. I ended up ordering my K10D from Broadway Photo, after having cancelled an order at Century 21 Photo. They had the lowest prices I could find and BOTH tried to up-sell me a battery, Century 21 claiming... that the camera didn't come with a battery at all, and Broadway trying to tell me that the one that comes with the camera only lasts for 20 minutes. The batteries they wanted to sell me cost $140, which is not surprising since they also charge $400 for a 256MB SD card! Pentax rates their included 750 mAh batery at 500 shots. If that's not enough, you can get a 1700 mAh battery on eBay for $17.95. Read more Less

    Pentax K10D - no battery issues

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 28, 2006 | 4 out of 4 found this Pentax K10D review helpful

    Pros: tons of pro-style features for the money

    Cons: None as of yet

    I just wanted to let the person who wrote in about the battery issue know that I am using the battery supplied with the camera body and it is going strong after more than 200 photos. In fact, the charge indicator hasn't moved off of the fully cha...rged indication yet! It is far too early for me to write a good review but as a new user of Digital SLRs this camera has been great. I love the ability to easily flip through different "filters", including a black and white filter. Its feature comparison to even the higher level Nikon and Canon are no match. I'm using a Promaster 18-200mm which one lens of the year from one of the top industry websites and it also has worked flawlessly. Once I start getting more photo results i'll write another review.

    Pentax K10D is an excellent midrange digital SLR. Read more

    Pentax K10D (body only)

    A great feature set for the price, pro-level customization, and excellent photo quality make the Pentax K10D a bargain amateur dSLR. Only unremarkable performance holds it back from joining the pack leaders. Read more
