Top of a Star-Studded field!Strengths: So many features at an affordable price. Weakness: needs to be a little bit lighter It's a great time to be buying a 10 megapixel SLR, as all the top manufacturer's have new, 5-star models. So let's examine: What do we want most? Great photos, a well made camera, and features that will let us achieve our photographic goals. The K10D delivers. All the top contenders will deliver excellent results that can be made into poster size prints with great color and detail. Although we...

Awesome cameraStrengths: Ergonomics, weather seal, in camera stabilization Weakness: JPEG's slightly soft This is an awesome camera and what's it even better is the price, especially now. The Canon XTI and Nikon D40x equivalents at this price range really pale in comparison. The features of this camera make it more comparable to the much more expensive D80 and Canon 30D/40D. This camera has won multiple awards and a favorite of photographers outside of the US where the Nikon/Canon advertising machine...

superb cameraStrengths: image quality, speed, price, weatherproof body, very solid, lenses compatibility. Weakness: lacks 3200 iso and af assist lamp. The K10d is a great camera. The camera's body is bigger and heavier than the k100d's one but it's weatherproof and magnesium made. It feels very solid and professional (a lot better than Nikon d80 or Canon XTI for example). On the body several commands can be easily found with dedicated buttons (RAW, autofocus: Manual, single, continuous, metering etc etc) and I think that's a great thing. The...

Great SLR Camera for beginnersStrengths: Various features, nice hand grip, shake reduction system on body, dust remover, excellent image quality, and 72 seals for resistance to water and dust. Weakness: Extra weight compared to other entry SLR camera. I wish there were more choice of lenses. The PENTAX K10D has various features for beginners. It is easy to control and provides excellent picture quality with 10 megapixels. You can take a picture anytime, anywhere, any weather condition because it has 72 seals for resistance to water and dust. K10D also has a new proprietary Shake Reduction system that doesn't require specialized anti-shake lenses and claims to offer a 2.5 to 4 stop...

Excellent offering from PentaxStrengths: A lot of features and excellent image quality and build. Weakness: Requires good lenses to get the best out of the 10MP sensor. Auto WB under Incandenscent lighting is too yellow (like most SLR's) must use Tungsten WB. Reached word-limit - more in comments. The K10D was a highly anticipated camera ever since it was announced in September of 2006. Now that it is out and I have been using one for about a week I can easily recommend this dSLR to anyone interested in a verstatile, well-built and extremely functional dSLR. It was most definetely worth the wait and for a price tag that is very reasonable for everything that this camera offers, it is one...

Good DSLR--but not perfectStrengths: Excellent picture quality in RAW format, shake reduction system and sealed weather/dust resistant body Weakness: Horizontal tilt problem. Auto white balance and jpeg engine are not so good, autofocus speed is slower than Canon and Nikon. I have read dozens of reviews about K10d and made careful comparisons between Canon 400D and Nikon D80. I am mainly looking for a well built DSLR that could produce high quality pictures under low light, taking the price factors into account, I finally choose the pentax K10D. The picture quality in RAW format is REALLY good, even under high ISOs. The camera has a convenient control layout and...

Nice cameraStrengths: Fast, feature rich Weakness: A bit heavy; only one set of custom functions The Pentax K10D is the most feature-rich camera at this price point. Comparing with my old istD, it is much faster and responsive in terms of operations. The popup flash is nice and high, and I can use it with my Sigma 24-135mm zoom (quite long). One thing strange is that the K10D only has one set of custom functions, whereas the istD has three sets, so you can switch between different ones. The...

Love itStrengths: excellent ergonomics. unique RAW button.high quality images. tons of features. great value. Weakness: No hard button for adjusting white balance. Anyway you can still use Function Menu to do that. noise at iso 1600. So far I've been really impressed with this camera. The Pentax K10D offers an excellent ergonomic design. It feels robust and provides a firm and comfortable grip. It feels professional in your hands. The focusing mode is easy to change. A switch up front allows you to select manual, single or continuous autofocusing, while a dial on back allows you to change from spot focus, wide or...

Pentax K10D (body only)
THE GOOD: Excellent photo quality; well-designed and solidly built body; premium features for its price class; nice kit lens. THE BAD: Occasional autofocus hunting; Shake Reduction only buys you a little over one stop. THE BOTTOM LINE: A great feature set for the price, pro-level customization, and excellent photo quality make the Pentax K10D a bargain amateur dSLR. Only unremarkable performance... Top

Pentax K10D Review
The Pentax K10D is a lot of DSLR camera for a surprisingly small amount of money. Offering a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.5 inch LCD screen, Anti-Shake and Dust Removal systems, those headline specifications are only the beginning of the extensive feature list. The Pentax K10D has a sealed water-resistant, dust-proof body, 11-point AF system, 32 custom functions, Sensitivity-Priority and Shutter &... Top

Camera Labs – Pentax K10D review
The Pentax K10D is certainly a feature-packed DSLR and one which offers a lot of bang for the buck at current online prices. You get 10 Megapixel resolution, built-in Shake and Dust Reduction, environmental sealing, two unique exposure modes and a wealth of RAW options which put other mid-range cameras to shame. The K10D is not the greatest performer using its default settings - if you want a... Top

Pentax K10D
Just picking it up with a standard set of expectations, the Pentax K10D does not necessarily impress. Spend some time, explore the new exposure modes, learn how to tweak white balance, and you might discover a digital camera that could significantly improve your photography. That does impress. We're willing to bet that some photographers won't want to shoot with anything else once they've... Top

Pentax K10D
The Pentax K10D is compact, lies well in your hand and is of excellent quality. It can cope with dust and light rain, which is nice if you photograph outside a lot. All in all, I was really charmed by the Pentax K10D. Top

DCRP Review: Pentax K10D
Although I'm not thrilled with its straight-out-of-the-box photo quality, Pentax K10D is an exceptional digital SLR, and one that I can recommend easily. It offers superb build quality, great performance, tons of features (many of them unique to the K10D) -- and it's not too hard on the wallet, either. As for the photo quality, there are easy workarounds that let you get much better results than... TopAdvertisement

Pentax K10D
Strengths: Value for the price, quality of construction, designed for photo enthusiasts, can use legacy Pentax lenses
Weakness: Shutter a bit touchy (difficult to hold for focus), not a lightweight camera
I've been shooting with 35mm Nikon cameras for about 30 years. I've played around with P/S digitals, and decided it was time to get a more serious DSLR. Naturally I first looked at the offerings from Nikon. My price point put me in the D40x range. While researching I saw many positive comments about the Pentax K10D (and the K100D as well). I had the opportunity to compare the K100D and D40x side...
