  • Abstract:  Pentax may not be the most popular camera manufacturer, but the K100D is likely to raise its profile. Its a 6-megapixel camera that has much in common with Nikons D40 (reviewed right). The key difference is that the K100D includes optical image st...

  • Solid build
  • A touch expensive, Lack of features
  • The K100D is the latest in a very long line of 6-megapixel Pentax DSLRs. Whats more, the latest doesnt seem physically that different from the first, the *ist D. Not that theres much wrong with the design. The surprisingly compact body (considering ...

  • If you're looking for a well-made, versatile entry-level DSLR, give the Pentax K100D Super a test drive. One advantage that it has is lens compatibility - it's compatible with virtually every Pentax lens ever made, which means that you can get some exc...

  • Abstract:  In 1979 Pentax launched the ME Super as a manual focus, aperture-priority automatic SLR with an electronic focal plane shutter. It was small, light, and by all reports had excellent ergonomics. It used the by-then ubiquitous K-mount lens system and was so...

  • Handling, Image, Quality, Low noise, Builtin IS, Price
  • Burst shooting performance, Too menu dependent, Menu interface, No RawJPEG option
