I finally moved from a low cost DC to a real DC. This camera lives up to the hype. from Bhphotovideo.com I have owned this camera for 18 months or so, and have used it in a variety of settings, indoor, outdoor, sunny, low light, action, stills, portraits, etc. It absolutely excels when there is enough light. from Amazon.com Pentax K10D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens from Amazon.com This was my first DSLR and it's been a great experience. It uses the same Sony sensor as the Nikon D80/D200 and if you shoot RAW, you get effectively the same results for much less cost. from Amazon.com I have had this camera for over one year and each day learn more about the power of this camera. Recently took photo course and many in class had high powered Nikons and Canon DSLR's. from Amazon.com When this model was initially introduced, it was the best bang for the buck: -Takes all Pentax lenses (including screw mounts with an adaptor) and adds its anti-shake mechanism to each from Amazon.com K10d is a really good camera. I tried Canon xt and xti before but both are small and don't fit my big hand. from Amazon.com I've had mine about 7 months now and have used it for family, outdoors and night sky pictures. Shake reduction works even with my old prime M series lenses. I have two autofocus D lenses (18-55 and 50-200) and use these most often, I like taking pictures with older manual focus lenses when I have the time. from Amazon.com With the proper lens this camera can do everything that the big boys like Nikon and Canon can do! It has so many features sometimes I have to get the manual out to remember how to use them! from Amazon.com I don't want to get into any technical stuff on this camera, because you can find it on Cnet or Pentax website. This is a very nice camera to own, just make sure you buy a quality lens with it. from Amazon.com
