The K10D review from DCRP is now online, and they had some really nice to say about this offering from Pentax. Here is a short sample of that review-

"The K10D is the flagship camera in Pentax’s digital SLR lineup. It arguably has more bang for the buck than any other camera in its class, with a 10 Megapixel CCD, optical image stabilization, dust removal system, support for two RAW formats, and a solid, weather resistant body. The K10D sells for under $1000 with an 18 - 55 mm kit lens

All things considered, the Pentax K10D is an excellent midrange digital SLR. It offers a solid, well-designed body, rocket-fast performance, and superb photo quality if you get away from the default settings. It may not be a great choice for those used to live-view and scene modes, but if you’re ready to dive into more serious photography, the K10D is a great choice. It earns my highest recommendation."

A great feature set for the price, pro-level customization, and excellent photo quality make the Pentax K10D a bargain DSLR. Technically, the 10-megapixel K10D is an ambitious camera, which combines 10.2 effective Megapixels with a host of advanced technologies - including the Pentax-original Shake Reduction (SR) system - to deliver high-quality digital SLR photography and responsive operations to advanced amateurs and experienced hobbyists.

The K10D also includes Dust Removal system to keep dust off the CCD surface, a Pentax-original exposure system for faithful reproduction of the photographer’s creative intentions, and a dependable dust-proof, water-resistant body construction.
