Digital camera reviews of Pentax K100D Super 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction (Body Only)
Digital camera Review: Simply Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera for my wife for Christmas. I'm not a professional photographer; but I am "obsessive compulsive" when it comes to investigating just about anything. This camera generally gets rave reviews along with a few Nikon, Canon detractors (and we own a Canon Point and Shoot...a wonderful one). Anyway, detractors aside, this is an awesome camera, every bit as good as advertised. The pictures are simply amazing! Pictures are very sharp, with excellent color and contrast. The kit lens is more than decent. The other "amazing" thing is that I had an old Vivitar with two lenses that actually fit this camera and they work perfectly! My wife also bought a 70-300 Sigma telephoto lens through Amazon and it too works perfectly. With built in IS and dust removal, this is one tough little digital SLR camera to beat. Buy it!Digital camera Review: Pentax K100 Great first D-SLR
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first foray into the digital SLR world. I have always had Pentax film cameras (K1000, and ME Super) and have loved their quality. I've read that the new DSLR's use the same lens mount as the 35mm camera body so it made the most sense to stick with Pentax. In retrospect, old lenses don't play well with the new auto settings of the digital camera, and new lenses are designed to work specifically with your digital camera body. If you have an assortment of Pentax compatible lenses it may still make sense to stick with the same brand in the digital world. However, in retrospect I wouldn't have given this single factor so much weight in my decision, since I won't likely use any of them unless I intend to do a lot of the manual camera work in my head. I should say that the Anti-shake feature is "in" the camera body for Pentax, as opposed to the lens for Nikon. I really like this feature and has proven to help take sharp photos in low light lighting and is a plus if you do intend to use your old lenses. Overall I am very happy with this camera, I am a casual photographer and the 6MP is more than I need for the type of shooting I like to do.Digital camera Review: Happy so far

Bought the K100D Super to use with my Pentax lenses from a ZX-30 35mm camera(also a great camera). After about a month of use, I am very happy so far. Huge difference in image quality and flexibility over my old HP Photosmart 730. Color and shapness are great and LCD screen is easy to see, even in sunlight. Have used a 300mm zoom and 2x converter on wildlife and pics are excellent. Would give it 5 stars, except I have only had it a month. AndyDigital camera Review: great D-slr camera

Pentax K100D Super
I like this camera, because this camera use AA battery, and built in shake reduction, and dust removeal and cost me very little.
This camera do not get face detection that I like to have, and the ISO, that I like have 50.
I will buy another Pentax, if they make one, with the things that I like,
and for the same price.
I like Pentax use AA battery for all their cameras.
I have all the lens( 10 ), for Nikon, but the D40 will not drive them, so,
I give up Nikon.
I have all lens for Canon too( 9), I will buy Canon DSLR, as soon as the price come down. ( as long as they can drive my Canon lens.)
So, I have to say good bye to my old friend( Nikon ), and keep my other old friend( Canon ), and say Hi to my new friend Pentax.
