Pentax K110D 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera user reviews

"We received the camera very quickly. The camera itself is great. It is a digital camera that actually takes the picture when you press the button. There is no irritating delay. We love it. "

--- Terry C. Croker rated: 5

"Great camera although a little complicated. This is an entry level SLR, but it has so many features it easily compets, on that basis, with more expensive cameras. So far, I am delighted with it. The Magic Lantern Guide book to this camera is a must. I havd three expensive Pentax camers, left over from film days, that work great with this model. "

"This camera is packed with features such as on camera photo editing, many options for the flash < to soften the light, or crank it up when needed > The lens that came with it is very good for a "kit" lens. And one of the BEST features about it is that pretty much ANY Pentax lens will work with it, I have several older lenses that work like a charm. A Kiron 80-200 MM Zoom, a Takumar 28-80 MM Zoom with macro, and even some fully manual lenses that work just fine. Try that with some of the other brands !! All in all i am VERY pleased with my purchase, and would recommend this camera to anyone looking to get a DSLR and NOT break the bank. "

"Good camera, and great price. Don't pay MSRP for it. Shake reduction on the K100D isn't worth the extra price. Save your money and get a good tripod. Camera shoots great pictures and even at some larger print sizes is not grainy at all. All my Pentax lenses work, as well as my Sunpak flash. Features on the camera are excellent for beginners through advanced. If your a pro, get the K10. "

"I put off buying a Digital SLR for 3 years - but couldn't resist this one now that the price is under $[...]. I handled a Pentax *ist DS at a Costco and was impressed with its handling - this one feels even better. I found the Canon Digital Rebel and even the Nikon D50 to be a little awkward - just a little large for me - and I'm over 6'2" with pretty large hands. I had good experience with an old Pentax 35 mm camera, so feel pretty confident about it's operational ease and quality. But only time will tell that. The 2.5" LCD panel is wonderful - much easier than the old 1.6" I've used in my Nikon Coolpix 775 and 5400. And of course, the operational speed is much nicer than those older cameras - but pretty typical of the other DSLRs out there.

The few flash pictures I've taken look bright and very sharp - look forward to taking many more outside tomorrow - or whenever the weather clears a little here in Cleveland... "
