CameraLab has reviewed the Pentax K10D DSLR. The Pentax K10D has a 10 Megapixel sensor, an image stabilizer, and a DR (Dust Removal) sensor. It supports ISO 100 to 1600, SDHC memory card. The new DSLR measures 141.5x70x101mm and weighs 710g (without lenses).
After the break is a video tour.
Verdict from CameraLab:
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. Indeed in some respects these features elevate the K10D beyond mid-range DSLRs to compete against semi-pro models, and that’s impressive considering the price point.
Pentax K10DThe K10D isn’t however without its faults. The body may be dust and weather-resistant, but it ain’t built from magnesium alloy. The image quality using the default settings can come across as dull compared to the competition and we also felt it had a tendency to underexpose or be fooled under certain conditions. And while the Shake Reduction system proved quite effective at removing dust, it only offered modest compensation against camera-shake in our tests compared to rival systems. Speaking of which, here’s a brief look at how it compares against the nearest competition.
