Pentax K100D Digital SLR review

Announced on the 22nd of May 2006, the Pentax K100D is a 6.1 megapixel digital SLR camera with a 2.5" screen and built in Shake Reduction sensor - it will accept any Pentax K-Series mount lens and is named after the popular Pentax K1000 film SLR released in the 70s. The SMC Pentax DA 18-55mm lens I tested it with is equivalent to 27-82mm on a 35mm camera. The Pentax K100D is available from around GBP370 with lens kit making it excellent value for money for a 6 megapixel digital SLR camera with anti-shake sensor. The camera is enclosed in a sturdy body and is available in black. This SLR digital camera does not record video. It is about average size for a digital SLR - the body measures: 129.5mm x 92.5mm x 70mm (without protruding parts), and weighs approx. 560g excluding lens, batteries and media. Nb. the Pentax K110D is identical, but lacks Shake Reduction. Read the magnificent review here
