Product Rating: 5.00 star(s) Well designed and a feature rich Camera

Comments:
The first feature of this camera that attracted me was the ability to use my 30 plus year old Pentax SLR K-mount lenses. With the "Shake reduction" built into the camera body all of the old K-mount lenses benefit from the feature. Unlike other digital cameras in this or higher price ranges that put the shake reduction feature into the lenses themselves, this camera puts the feature in the camera body itself. This feature alone gives the user a lot of lens selection options not available to owners of cameras with out this feature.
<br>
<br>I have owned my camera for several months and I am still learning to use the many features that this camera offers. It far exceeds my expectations. The owners manual is a little short on detail concerning how to use all the features. But if you read and re-read the chapters dedicated to each feature, you can eventually figure out how to use them.

QuickTake:

Pros: Accepts older Pentax 35 MM film SLR K-mount lenses
Cons: Owner manual lacks detail of all camera functions.

Short Reports: Pentax K10D

Comments:
You expect the costly pro D-SLRs to be weather- and dust-resistant, but it’s rare to find that in a lower-priced model. Yet the rugged, 10.2-megapixel K10D from Pentax features a dust- and weather-resistant body (including 72 seals) and a price under...
Review Verdict:
Weather resistance is but one of the K10D’s assets. It also has a built-in CCD Dust Removal System that uses ultrasonic vibrations to shake dust off the image sensor on command or whenever you switch the camera on—one of my favorite D-SLR featur ...
