Digital Camera Review

Dec 12, 2007 - By Alex Burack
4 The 10-megapixel K10D is the first viable prosumer body released by Pentax, marking a departure from the simplified 6-megapixel mold that characterized the manufacturer’s previous efforts. At the camera’s core are an APS-C-sized CCD chip and PRIME image processor, capable of 22-bit A/D conversion. Eleven-point autofocus (with 9 cross-type), mechanical image stabilization (Shake Reduction), dust removal, and weatherproofing are integral portions of the design. However, impressive as the K10D’s components may be, the camera earns its distinction through the practical subtleties woven throughout its design. For $599 (with rebate) during the holiday push, the K10D is one of the strongest values on the market.
