Likes
- Good controls
- Shake reduction for all lenses
- LCD previews of white balance and depth of field
- DNG format for RAW files
- Good environmental seals
- Dedicated RAW button near lens           
Dislikes
- LCD view is narrow
- AE lock button in an odd place
- Styling less elegant than *ist cameras
- 3 frames per second is slow for burst mode at this level
 
Conclusion
We're eager to see the Pentax K10D's image quality. Read our likes and dislikes: the “Likes” are important. The “Dislikes” are quibbles. We'd call the K10D an ambitious camera, one that could be a top-end body for many kinds of photographers, including some pros – it could be a fine wedding or portrait camera. And *ist shooters clearly have an inviting upgrade path in the K10D.
