  • Results similar to those offered by some 10 megapixel rivals, 11-point auto focus system is quick to determine its target and the metering is similarly spot on, uncluttered ergonomically placed controls and sturdy build to the body despite the budget pric...
  • If you opt to power the K100D Super with four alkaline AAs you only get a day and a halfs shooting at best out of the camera
  • If youre looking to upgrade from a digital compact for something a litle more meaty but are worried about a steep learning curve the Pentax K100D Super will allay your fears. With its range of scene modes and the ability to point and shoot in auto t...

  • Impressive build quality Easy to use Good images straight out of the camera Fantastic price for a kit
  • No rechargeable battery supplied (just four AAs) Memory card costs extra
  • We gave the K100D Super’s predecessor – the plain old K100D – four stars, because at the time it was a little pricey given its modest headline specification. Now with a price drop of over £150, and dust reduction added, there are very f...

  • Handling, image quality, ease of use, price
  • Pentamirror viewfinder, indistinct finder info display, some key controls only in menus
  • Looking at the specification and the price, the K100D is certainly a lot of camera for the money. Results are good overall and handling is a doddle thanks to a neat control layout and compact size. If you’re looking for a compact, easy to use D-SLR t...

  • Excellent Auto-Focus Logical layout and interface Durable construction Good color performance in low light
  • Dim, low-magnification viewfinder Limited white balance controls Single control dial AA batteries Compartment doors arent sealed
  • The Pentax K100D is just what an entry-level DSLR should be – simple to use and functional enough to take good pictures. Pentax deserves praise for putting such a good autofocus system in an inexpensive camera. The combination of the autofocus syste...

  • Solid construction; low price, Topmounted LCD status display
  • Noisier images at high ISO settings, Low battery life
  • This 6-megapixel SLR is a fine choice for beginning and intermediate shooters.
