Pentax *istD Digital SLR Camera

bydkozin Jul 26, 2004
36 Helpfuls 37 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Solidly built, SLR, easy manual zooming/focusing, TIFF/RAW, picture quality
Cons No 640x480 resolution, no ISO100 setting, slow image writing, solid disc for menu control
Recommended it? Yes

I had a chance to use the Pentax *istD Digital SLR camera over the last weekend. It is owned by a relative of mine, who has been using it in the full auto mode.

The camera uses an APS-sized CCD, which is larger than consumer digital cameras and lets you control depth of field much better... Read full review »

Great for beginner to advanced recreational photographers

bylab1172007 Oct 12, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Clean images, robust body, weather seals, unique exposure modes, selectable programs,...
Cons Soft images (need to shoot RAW), Average automatic white balance.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a very robust camera with both dust and weather seals. The camera also contains in-camera Shake Reduction, which allows all of your lenses to benefit from the technology. This is different from most Shake Reduction cameras in that the Shake Reduction is supplied in the lenses themselves... Read full review »

Great Camera from Pentax!

byjsauerii Mar 31, 2008
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Weather sealing, Feels great in hand.
Cons Soft default jpg pictures.
Recommended it? Yes

The main reason I went with this camera was the weather sealing and the fact it was very comparable in picture quality to its competitors.

The K10 feels great in your hands, it feels "real". Its nice to know when you are out shooting and it starts to sprinkle that your camera will be okay... Read full review »
