seems to be the latest one, I have the 4mpix.
For family and vacations, it fits a pocket tightly or a very small on-the-belt case. ]]>Jul 29th 2006 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/Jul 29th 2006 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/

I think you mean K1000, not K100. But as a lifelong Pentax user, I knew what you meant. :-)]]>Jul 29th 2006 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/
The K1000 is the original entry level SLR is what I'm saying]]>Jul 29th 2006 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/
If your in the market for a camera look carefully at the Pentax lineup as an alternative to its highly priced counterparts.]]>Jul 29th 2006 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/
Oh, and guess what--the D70, D50, *ist DL, and several others, use the EXACT SAME SONY CCD. Why pay more for the Nikon?]]>Jul 30th 2006 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/Jul 30th 2006 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/Jul 30th 2006 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/29/pentax-k100d-dslr-reviewed/

According to the manual it takes about 2 seconds for the system to stabilize, after that with the shutter button depressed half-way, a hand within a set of double parens will appear in the viewfinder to indicate the system is ready to take the picture.

I wish people doing reviews would take the time to really understand the equipment they are reviewing.

The K mount replaced that in the late 1970s, but there are adapters for the screw mount TO the K mount.
