Pentax K100D Digital SLR Camera Review

Comments:
A culmination of point-and-shoot accessibility and prosumer features characterize the Pentax K100D. The camera is the company's first DSLR released under its resurrected moniker, derived from its K1000 35mm SLR - arguably its most recognized photographic

Review Verdict: The K100D is a great entry-level SLR camera, with an unmatched price. Pentax offers an extensive array of lenses to buy separately, and the camera's interface and design make for a comfortable shoot. If you want a full-featured SLR with fairly advanced fe

Pentax’s K100D Super; The Digital K-Mount Revolution Continues

Comments:
In 1979 Pentax launched the ME Super as a manual focus, aperture-priority automatic SLR with an electronic focal plane shutter. It was small, light, and by all reports had excellent ergonomics. It used the by-then ubiquitous K-mount lens system and was so
