5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoying photography again......., 28 May 2007
By M. J. Lowis "matlowis" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I (also) owned a Pentax MZ-50 which I thoroughly enjoyed and it gave me my interest in true photography. Unfortunately when the digital era came along I bought a couple of digital compacts (good ones) but I just lost the true enjoyment of hearing the shutter come down along with poor view finders! So when I saw a reasonably priced Digital Pentax I decided to take the plunge, mainly because of the unbelievable price but also the fantastic reviews the K100D has recieved almost everywhere. I also tried the similarly priced Nikon D40 but just preferred the way the Pentax felt and to me the build quality seemed better. I've had it a week and it's every bit as good as I hoped. It fits my old pentax/sigma lenses and the auto focus works with all of them, THIS IS NOT TRUE OF THE NIKON, only the new lenses can auto focus, the old ones become manual focus only. This is a wonderful camera for the price of a compact, its baffling!! Buy a real camera....Buy this......!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bargain of an SLR, 2 Jul 2007
By Andy Amos (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
I bought the camera thanks to the plummet in price!
I thought about buying nearly a year ago, but at double the price I thought twice and decided to go a bit further and purchased the K10D.
I use my K10D a great deal and wanted a back-up camera for use at work and wanted a unit that was a little lighter to carry around.
As photographic tool, they are quite different. The K10D has an abundance of controls available on the outside, the K100d is more restricted. Build quality, viewfinder, and even shutter-sound are quite distinct and show a difference in price.

As regards the end result though, I have to say I am delighted!!!

If you can use RAW it is a bonus!
The 6MP sensor is probably a better option for most users than 10 MP in the K10D, it works better at higher ISO ratings and so gives more options to use higher speeds.
The SR is a marked difference to the competition of a similar price mark meaning you have stabalisation with ALL lenses.
It works just fine with the entire range of Pentax lenses, and even meters better with "M" and "K" series lenses than its bigger brother.
I have no problem reccomending this camera.
Check out the Nikon D40, which is quieter, maybe nicer to look at, even easier to use, but it lacks the SR, has limited lens compatability and the viewfinder is slightly smaller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, 28 May 2007
After reading the previous reviews especially the one by Christopher D Neale, I decided to have a look at the Pentax K100D and yes, I got past the '10' thing and bought it! I'm so glad I did! I too have a Pentax (MZ50 35mm film camera) and find the K100D has a similar excellent build quality plus many comparable controls - so I didn't have to read the manual from cover to cover before I got started. My three main reasons for buying it have to be the anti-shake function (a problem I've noticed due to health problems) - any Pentax lens will fit the body and also the fact that it had recently been reduced in price by £100. Presumably there's a new model in the offing - but considering digital SLR's normally start around £400+ it has to be well worth considering. It's got everything I need and more besides - it's truly excellent value!
