The functionality of this is almost as good as the 3x more expensive K10, with enough user settings to keep you busy getting accustomed to them. The manual is easy to read, and there are many cool things you can tweek. Lightweight, easy to hold, and it will accept ANY Pentax lens ever made if you don't mind manual focusing on some. SUMMARY: If you are a pro, and NEED to sell 36"x60" enlargements of your Grand Canyon panoramic shots, then you aren't considering this camera anyway. from Amazon.com Since then, I had made do with some basic Kodak point and shoot digital cameras which I was very happy with, but did not offer the flexibility of an SLR. When I finally needed to get a digital SLR for a project, I admittedly didn't know a lot about the choices. I did some on-line research and realized that the Pentax offered the most flexibility. You can use rechargeable AA batteries, an SD card and ANY Pentax SLR lens ever made. from Amazon.com I actually have the K100D, not the Super, but the comments apply to either model. My daughter does gymnastics and the pictures I take are taken indoors without flash. In order to get the most benefit from this camera, DO NOT settle for the kit lens that comes with it. That lens (18-55mm) is fine for outdoor snapshots, but to really get the most of this camera, get a fast prime lens (50mm f1.4, 50mm f1.7, 50mm f2.0, 35mm f2.0, 28mm f1.8, 20mm f1.8, etc.) This camera can take pictures that I believe NO OTHER SLR can do and has 3 distinct advantages over other SLRs. from Amazon.com DO NOT MISS THIS CAMERA!!! Several weeks ago, I purchased the Pentax K100D Super here on Amazon, after doing lots of research here and on other sites. I have been a somewhat serious amateur for 20 years or more, my last SLR being a Pentax Super Program. from Amazon.com For more than 30 years I have been shooting photographs with Pentax equipment. First the K1000 then a Pentax MX 35mm film camera. from Amazon.com First of all, I would like to start with highly recommending this camera to ANYONE who wants premium image quality with expandability, power and flexibility. Pentax is one of the only companies out there that is driven entirely by photography and NOT by a marketing department that makes outrageous claims. To this end, even this, their lowest-end camera, is PACKED with premium features. from Amazon.com This one has a better user interface and a nicer feel. It's a bit heavier than others, but I find that the extra weight provides a bit more stability. The only advantage the Nikon may have is the availability of accesories, but Pentax makes some wonderful add-ons for this camera. Oh, and you can use any Pentax SLR lense ever made on this camera...big selling point if you have an older Pentax. from Amazon.com I've never owned any SLRs, just little point and shoots. I was looking for a DSLR that would help me with that next step and would accommodate my needs as my skills improve. I considered the entry level DSLRs from Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. You'll find a lot of websites that give you great reviews of all of them. from Amazon.com I searched for 3 months reading review after review, I found myself up too late in the evenings scouring the web looking for the perfect combination of features and cost (overall value). I have owned point and shoot digicams for years, in fact own a nice Canon SD800 now and am thrilled with it - the last SLR I owned was a fully manual Minolta 35mm made in 1962! For me it came down first deciding upon one of the new SuperZoom (15x or higher) digicams (Panasonic FZ18, or Canon S5 IS), or going for a full DSLR (Nikon D40 or Pentax K100D Super). I eliminated the SuperZooms eventually because I didn't feel they were different enough from my Canon P&S to justify the purchase. from Amazon.com I am an serious amature photographer who has used Pentax 35mm, Canon 35mm, Zeiss medium format range finders, Panasonic Lumix and Sony digital cameras. In all I've been in love with the art of photography for over 35 years. from Amazon.com
