Once the quality settings were reset the camera produced consistently satisfying photographs. RAW images are sensational. We had to do less exposure compensation fiddling with this camera than with any we have tested. We were amazed at the quality of p...
The value-for-money of this camera makes the competition look either greedy or inefficient. There is nothing cut-down or under-done about the Pentax.
Cheap
Midrange DSLR
In-camera optical image stabilisation
Relatively compact
Great mix of auto and manual features
The editors didn't like
There is a slight lack of refinement. The Sigma autofocus is noisy
As is the mirror/shutter slap. The lens has marked pincushion and barrel distortion. Body and menu graphics are not elegant.

Pentax set the default saturation and contrast absurdl...
To sum up, the Pentax K100D Super is an unfussy, uncluttered user-friendly camera that is still packed with enough features for most amateur DSLR users. On our test shots, the Pentax delivered warm colours with just the right degree of softness for ou...

Abstract: Pentax may not be the most popular camera manufacturer, but the K100D is likely to raise its profile. Its a 6-megapixel camera that has much in common with Nikons D40 (reviewed right). The key difference is that the K100D includes optical image st...
The K100D is the latest in a very long line of 6-megapixel Pentax DSLRs. Whats more, the latest doesnt seem physically that different from the first, the *ist D. Not that theres much wrong with the design. The surprisingly compact body (considering ...
In-camera optical image stabilisation; relatively compact; great mix of auto and manual features
Auto white balance is warm in tungsten light; no raw-plus-JPEG mode; only 6 megapixels
With its built-in image stabilisation and comfy mix of manual and automatic features, the Pentax K100D is one of the best dSLR bargains on the market ...
