Excellent difficult to fault.

This is my first SLR camera, a bit daunting at first but it is a camera that you quickly adapt to. I used this on holiday basically to get a feel of it; most other people had smaller hand held type. The result compared to the others was stunning. Had to supply pictures through because other photographs were poor, which made me feel good knowing I had purchased a smashing piece of equipment.
A 'so so' camera

After using this camera for about two months, all the above reviews sound like paid ads by Pentax. K10D is not that great. I am getting better results with a two years old 8 MP Panasonic FZ30 with its 35-420mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens. K10D scores only in dim, unfavorable lighting conditions and where long shutter speeds are used due to its advantage of being a 10 MP camera. Low noise and all that. The latches which need to be twisted to access the SD card and the battery also appear very flimsy. On most of my assignments I still prefer to carry my old faithful Panasonic FZ30 giving me the most important advantage of recording images in uncompressed TIFF format where as to get similar quality I have to shoot in RAW with K10D and spend hours in front of my PC carrying out necessary corrections.
Excellent camera

This is my first SLR camera, this made me a bit worried could I use such a piece of equipment, the answer an absolute yes. I have reduced the pixel to 6, as this gives me all I require plus lots of superb pictures.
It's all about the viewfinder

Remember when SLRs had clear, crisp viewfinders that showed a near-life-size image through the taking lens? Isn't that what an SLR is all about? But lately, most of them use mirrors in the viewfinder to save cost and weight, but usually at the cost of brightness and clarity. The K10D has an excellent viewfinder. Its imaging performance is as good or better than most DSLRs. Add anti-shake, weather sealing, great handling, fine lenses (old and new), and a great price and Pentax wins my dollars hands down. No, you won't find one at your local BestBuy or Circuit City like the big-NikonCanonOlySonySigma conglomerate camera companies' products. Go to a real camera store and try out the Pentax viewfinder and handling and look at the price/feature factor. No contest.
