General Comments

Over the last 25 years I have owned several SLR cameras, most of them Pentax cameras due to their user friendly design, logical approach and excellent ergonomics. I started with the ME Super, LX, MZ3, ist*D and now I recently upgraded to the latest K10D.
The K10D is fantastic - it is solid, well made, dust & weather proof (I live in South Africa so that is a must), reliable and very reasonably priced. The functions are super, most everything can be customized to suit your level of photographic skill - from fully automatic to totally manual SLR. The image quality is superb and very realistic images are captured for further digital developing in Photoshop. If you prefer you can adjust the settings to take superb photos straight from the start for immediate printing. I prefer shooting images as realistically as possible and using the computing power of a PC to enhance the images further. I love this camera as Pentax have really put some logical thought into their designs - the controls are well laid out and efficient. No beeps, squeaks, squeals or flashing lights. I would place this camera in the advanced hobbyist to professional sector of photography.
