The Pentax K10D review from DigitalCameraReview is now online, and they feel this dSLR is aimed at photo enthusiasts, with its solid build-quality and excellent image quality, rather than those upgrading from point digicams. Here is a short sample of that review-

Canon and Nikon currently dominate the semi-pro dSLR market, but all any camera maker has to do to unseat the sales leaders is to offer a better product at a lower price. The introduction of the Pentax K10D is a big step in that direction. The K10D offers several unique benefits the majors can’t match including image stabilization with every lens, pro quality dust/weather/moisture seals, two RAW formats, and an automatic dust reduction/removal system - all at a very competitive price. Serious shooters may have a few issues (like Pentax’s lack of long glass), but for many photographers - including those with a closet full of old FA, KA, or K-mount lenses, the K10D may be just the camera they’ve been looking for. I really liked the Pentax K10D - it was clearly designed by photographers - for photographers. Amateur photographers looking a camera that can keep pace as their photographic skills develope should seriously consider the Pentax K10D - this dSLR is a contender.

The Pentax K10D retails for less than nine hundred bucks - add the Pentax DA f3.5-f5.6/18mm-55mm kit zoom for a hundred dollars more
