Pentax K10D

Résumé : This 10.1MP DSLR is built for speed, endurance, and price ($899 street).

Résumé : - I was introduced to the new Pentax flagship DSLR at the massive photo trade show, Photokina that's held every 2 years in Cologne, Germany at the end of September.

Points forts : Large screen on rear of camera, proprietary CCD-Shift anti shake mechanism, great new shooting modes

Points faibles : It's early days, but its looking like there won't be much wrong here

Conclusion : On paper at least, it looks a tempting proposition for both potential users and Pentax because there are over 23-million compatible Pentax K-mount lenses worldwide,

Points forts : - Good controls - Shake reduction for all lenses - LCD previews of white balance and depth of field - DNG format for RAW files - Good environmental seals - Dedicated RAW button near lens

Points faibles : - LCD view is narrow - AE lock button in an odd place - Styling less elegant than *ist cameras - 3 frames per second is slow for burst mode at this level

Conclusion : We're eager to see the Pentax K10D's image quality. Read our likes and dislikes: the "Likes" are important. The "Dislikes" are quibbles.
