1.1The Pentax K100D is one of a slew of budget DSLRs with advanced features currently on the market. The 6-megapixel K100D has sensor-shift shake reduction and an excellent autofocus system, which boasts nine cross-points. Until the K100D and other cameras in Pentax's DSLR line, autofocus specs like that were the province of pro cameras in the $3,000 and up range. The K100D is available with a lens online for 20 percent of that – in the $600 range. Add a stainless steel chassis with a combination of automatic and manual modes, and the K100D appears be a very attractive camera.
