Fantastic! [Posted on 2008-07-16]
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. I'm still learning and appreciating more and more every time I use the camera. The battery life is much better than expected. For Pentax accessories, I have a second battery and the wired remote and I'm very satisfied with that so far. Pictures are great.
Good DSLR [Posted on 2008-10-20]
K10d is a really good camera. I tried Canon xt and xti before but both are small and don't fit my big hand. the size of K10d is alright! and it provided powerful manual adjustment for your catching pictures. The kit lens is also very good as basic lens.
The Body SR function makes every lens perform very well when you hold it with shaky hands. I hate Canon and Nikon because they refuse to add Shake reduction function on the camera body so that they can sell SR lens at higher price.
The only drawbacks low light performance is not as good as C and N. Focus speed is a little bid slow. Also the auto WB is not perfect. But you can adjust to get it right manually.
Overall, it is a good DSLR.
Unbelievable features for this price. [Posted on 2008-10-20]
An amazing well built camera with a great set of features. Well worth the price.
When it came out it was a bargain - now it's an amazing bargain [Posted on 2008-10-21]
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
-Picture quality great
-V - e - r - y sturdy feel
-All the unique Pentax options (especially hyper) plus driving the ISO
Note - some of the quibbles have been fixed with the later, 40% more megapixel, K20D:
-Picture quality at higher ISO
-Easier definition of picture style
-"Live" view (sort of)
I've had it for two years and only qualm I have is that it's larger and heavier than my *istD
Great camera..highly rated [Posted on 2008-11-24]
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. My camera kept right up and in many cases had features their cameras did not, such as built in image stablization, and raw button. Just saw new DXO website that ranks K10D above many DSLR's and higher than some more expensive DSLR's. This is a great camera but not for the novice.
