Love this camera. Its my first digital SLR. I have numerous older Pentax lenses that I used in the 80's that I occasionally use on this body. I did buy two new lens for the D SLR. Very happy with the performance. I have no complaints.

This camera is not the top of the line model in Pentax, but is is cheaper, (Approximately $400.00), and does an excellent job, and it does perform many of the same functions as the K7D.


 "Best bang for the buck" 2009-11-02
By Stanley Bembenek (Oracle, Az)
As a world traveler I wanted a weatherproof, dust resistant Primary DSLR for a reasonable price. This is a discontinued model which received rave reviews and cost 1/3 the price of cameras with similar features. The shake reduction works so well that I can take hand held pictures with a 300mm telephoto.
