I'm so tired of my old Olypmus "brownie" that takes seconds to decide
when to grab an image - I want to get back to a SLR type body and lense
that takes a pic WHEN I press the button - used to do do a lot of 35mm
and
2 1/4 x 2 1/4 type work, still have the hardware, but need digital.
Cannon/Olympus/Nikon/Sony ???????? Any testimonials of happy users
or flames from unhappy owners?
Thanks for any advice - Mark |

Well for $999 I don't think you will find one in that price range that can
touch the new Pentax K10D. It has features and image quality that rivals
cameras costing twice a much.

It's not really an "unknown"quantity.
Pentax is a reputable camera brand. The previous dSLR from that
comapny was a well liked camera. The new K10D uses a proven 10MP
sensor --- the same one used in D200, Sony A100, and D80. All were
very good cameras.
I think it's reasonable enough to assume the K10D will be pretty good
too. >> Stay informed about: SLR for < ~$1100 US recommendations or flames? |
