Pentax K110D

Pros: Removable lens, manual settings, macro settings, digital filters ... I can't say enough

Cons: It's a large camera and has a substantial heft to it ... if you are looking for a compact, this is not the camera for you.

For the past ten years I have been using and loving my Pentax K1000 camera. This is the only camera that I really knew how to use, although I also have a Nikon SLR and a Rolleicord. Then I got my Digital SLR, and coming from a film purist, this is the best camera that I have ever used. Bar non. If you are nervous about digital and want to still have the feel and comfort of an SLR, this is a fantastic camera. This camera is compatable with all Pentax lense, new and old. The specialty shooting options, such as sunset, snow, candle light, and text are fantastic. The menus are very easy to navigate and are extremely user friendly. There is also a manual focus option that you can use while still keeping the camera in fulling automatic mode ... which comes in handy when using the macro setting. Although the camera is on the heavy side, for someone used to using manuals, it feels normal to me. I would suggest getting a great memory card, at least 1gig, and investing in rechargable batteries ... you will need them! This camera is worth the money, if you are looking for a good Digital SLR. ...
