"This camera is cheap, fairly light, and produces great JPG right out of the camera. I love the SR feature and would not buy another camera without this feature! I can use up to ISO 1600 and get fairly good low noise shots. I would avoid ISO 3200, but it is good to know that it is there if I really need it."
Another review:
"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. Let's take a look at them:
1. Dust Reduction: Dust WILL get into your camera! This keeps it
off of the sensor and increases the time inbetween cleanings.
2. Shake Reduction: It's good for a couple of stops of shooting
leeway and you get it with every lens you use. Other companies build
their systems into the lenses, meaning ONE lens can cost as much or
more than the camera, itself! Lens-based anti-shake systems are more
effective at long zoom than body-based systems, but unless you're rich,
you won't be able to afford a suite of good lenses! With this camera,
you can use ANY Pentax lens and get anti-shake.
3. AA batteries: Proprietary battery packs are NO GOOD. Hmmm, if
you're on a shoot and your pack dies, you're not taking ANY photos
unless you get a spare, right? With this camera, pick up some 2500mAh
Ni-MH AA's and you can afford to get three sets. However, the power
drain is so small, you might not need more than one set.
4. 6 MP sensor: Don't EVER get trapped in the megapixel hype.
Megapixels mean nothing in the DSLR game, except for noise issues. Let
me explain. The sensor sizes on almost all DSLRs (except for $5000
full-frame pro cameras) are APS-sized, meaning the sensor size on this
camera and the Nikon D300 are very nearly the same dimensions. This
means that photosensors on the chip have to be made smaller to get more
pixels...meaning that the closer together/smaller sites are LESS light
sensitive and they will also interfere with each other. 6 MP is a
perfect sweet spot for noise and image sharpness. You get a base ISO of
200, meaning your camera is TWICE as sensitive to light as one with a
base ISO of 100! This camera records color accurately and makes prints
up to 8.5"x11" with no problem.
This camera has huge features and, even with the release of the
K20D and K200D cameras, still maintains a good feature/image quality
set with a proven CCD sensor and a suite of easy-to-learn features and
settings. I LOVE this camera and even though I have a K200D for the
weather sealing and larger burst capacity, the K100D super is the
camera I ALWAYS take with me in trips. You're better off getting this
camera plus a really nice lens and a 360FZ flash than a more expensive
camera with a base kit lens and no external flash.
Believe me, this camera's quality will not fail to impress you and
it will grow with you. It can use ANY lens its bigger brothers can and
it uses them effortlessly.
A superb camera and one for the record books!"
