Value
Value depends to a great extent on image quality, and we can’t be confident of that with the Pentax K10D – we didn't get a look at images. Still, when one considers the package – 10-megabytes, shake reduction, dust reduction, clever interface options, very good environmental seals, convenient manual and automatic controls – all that's left to find out about is image quality.
Who’s this Camera is For?
Point-and-Shooters – The casual user generally wants a lighter, simpler, cheaper camera than the K10D
Budget Consumers – The K10D could be a budget alternative to the Nikon D200.
Gadget Freaks – The K10D is a nice bundle of technology, but we're not sure if it distinguishes itself among cameras simply for gadgetiness.
Manual Control Freaks – Wait to find out about the image quality. If it's good, the K10D is a contender for this group.
Pros/Serious Hobbyists – We expect the K10D to be a contender in this category as well, if the image quality is there.
