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: Great beginner SLR Camera
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the second Pentax SLR that I've had. My first was an *istDL, and I upgraded to this for the image stabilization. The resolution is great, with really low noise levels at all but the highest iso settings. You can use it in completely automatic mode, like a point and shoot camera, and as your ability grows you can opt to use the camera manually as well. The camera is sturdy and well built. It doesn't feel like a cheap toy like some of the other entry level cameras in it's class. I've taken almost 10K pictures with this camera without any trouble at all. I also purchased two sets of the Sanyo Eneloop batteries, which I highly reccomend. I just purchased the K200D for the weather sealing and 10MP sensor, but I will also keep this camera for a backup since I've become so fond of it.
