Pentax K10D vs Sony Alpha A100
- 05-04-2007
- Categorized in: Digital Cameras
The Sony Alpha A100 and the Pentax K10D compete head-to-head with the most similar feature set among 10 megapixels DSLR cameras. These two digital cameras share the same image sensor, built-in stabilization and dust-reduction. As a matter of fact, these are the only two currently shipping 10 megapixels DSLR cameras with built-in stabilization. Later this year, they will be joined by the Olympus E-510 which has a smaller 2X crop sensor with 4:3 aspect ratio.Besides the lens mount, the most prominent feature difference is the Pentax K10D's weather-sealed body. Note that weather-sealing is only truly effective when using weather-sealed lenses and Pentax has not shipped any such lenses yet. The first two such lenses, the 16-50 F2.8 and the 50-135 F2.8, are expected to ship in May 2007. Since these are moderately high-end lenses with retail pricing above $800, the weather-sealing feature may not be relevant to all buyers. Read the whole test here
