Digital camera reviews of Pentax K100D 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

Digital camera Review: Simple to Use, Great as Starter or Backup
Summary: 4 Stars

The Amazon price is steep for this camera that is two generations old, but if you can find on Ebay or somewhere else at a lower price, this is a great buy. I use it as a backup to my K10D. It is a simple dSLR to use, and the shake reduction is an awesome feature since few other entry level dSLRs have it. With the shake reduction built in, your investment in lenses is going to be less since it works with all K-mount lenses.
