Digital camera reviews of Pentax K10D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Digital camera Review: Best Purchase In Decades
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't belabor my review with all the superlatives already praising this amazing camera. What I will tell you is if you are currently a Pentax film camera owner looking into getting into Digital SLR, then look no further. I personally have several M42 (thread mount manual) lenses which are in mint condition and work perfectly with my Spotmatic II film camera. BUT, they also work PERFECTLY with the K10D (using simple manual settings and an inexpensive K mount adapter). So, for the price of a Digital SLR body, and affordable at that, I can start capturing hi-res digital images immediately.
I could not be happier with my purchase, despite all the rumors about the pending K20D. I find it humorous that the 'semi-pros' can't be satisfied with this camera, after all it was the best thing that happened to them since sliced cheese (less than 2 years ago) ;)
Digital camera Review: Fantastic.
Summary: 5 Stars
I typically don't write many reviews. However, I have to say that I am pretty impressed with this camera. I'll leave the details to dpreview and others here, but all in all, I don't think there is a better camera out there in this price range...or even if you spent several hundreds more. Digital camera Review: I love this camera

I just upgraded to this camera after doing about a month's worth of research on different brands. I had been using a Canon EOS 700 film SLR for years, but it was time to upgrade to a DSLR. I am so glad I spent the time researching DSLR cameras, and didn't just make the "popular" choice. I purchased the camera body along with the Pentax 18-250 f3.5-6.3 lens, which is a great general purpose lens for outdoor shots. It will go from wide angle to long zoom. If you buy this camera, you really need to get the FA 50mm f1.4 lens as well. It is great for indoor shots because of the very large aperture capability. You can take shots of your kids events without flash.

Digital camera Review: Great digital SLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I own two other Pentax film SLRs (ME and ZX-7)and were happy with them, but this K10D is much more capable and a takes a better picture than the ZX-7. I am still learning what some of the capabilities are as I go along (too much to learn at one time!) but have not found anything it cannot do as yet. A digital (DA) f1.4 50mm lens is on my wishlist for the future. It is a little heavy compared to my other cameras but not a real problem. Also found I could use the same remote I already had besides the automatic lens from my ZX-7 camera. I would recommend it to anyone who likes lots of features and great pictures.Digital camera Review: Excellent DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first DSLR. I've tested several DSLRs form Canon, Nikon, such as Canon XTi(400D), Nikon D40x, D80. But none of them is better then K10D. The Canon 40D is one of the competitor, but the price of 40D set is much higher then K10D kit. Also K10D has BODY SR, which means you do not empty your pocket to buy those lens with IS.
