Pentax K100d
4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Uses SD card, 4 AA batteries, most Pentax K lenses work with it, shake reduction,
Cons: With so many features it can be intimidating at first
This is one good camera with all the right ingredients, at a good price for someones first digital SLR. Pentax's choice of a SD card is good as these are available cheap and with good capacity. The thought that some camera manufacturers are moving to use a special batteries is scary, the k100d uses very available AA batteries. The shake reduction works well as does the general camera layout, and isn't it nice that most older Pentax lenses work with it. I moved up to the Pentax K100d from a 3 mp point and shoot digital camera that I thought gave good service. After looking at the first 40 photos I took with the new camera I was amazed at the quality and realized what I had been missing with the old camera, and that was before I read the instruction book. Great camera, right features, right price for entry level DSLR. It will probably become an icon in the camera world. Happy photos amigos! ...
