After struggling to keep my beloved 35mm Canon Elan7 film camera I had to relent to purchasing my first digital slr and ended up purchasing a Pentax K10D. Knowing nothing about digital cameras I was surprised to realize that this camera was not as expected when I first held it in my hands. But now I am thrilled at the challenge of learning and bonding with it as a photographer. It is not a camera for the novice. For me, the manual is very wordy and can be confusing, but a must read to be able to see how this camera works before you begin shooting. Otherwise, you will be limited in the various possibilities this camera can give you toward awesome photographs. I am having to hone up on the technical side of photography because there are no "photography for dummy" avenues in using this camera. You must understand the importance of f-stops, shutter speeds and more to produce awesome photos. My film camera had the easy to read and use portrait, landscape, close-up modes which allowed me to be somewhat brainless when shooting photos. The Pentax K10D does NOT have these modes but instead pushes you to learn and think in more depth as to how to get what photo's you want with its unique exposure modes. I love that its weather proof and dust proof. It also does NOT have a live view in the back but forces you to look through the view finder to see exactly what you are going to get from your photos which, for me, going straight from my 35mm camera to this digital is an easy transition. Plus, being left handed its nice to have a bit of a ledge on the left side of the camera to hold on to. I love the challenge this camera will give me to push myself into being a better photographer rather than being just a lucky bugger relying on dummy modes to give me great pics!Read full review
This unit will do about anything the average photo-bug wants to accomplish. It is amazing how inexpensive they are now, compared to the price when they were a current issue item. Aperture and shutter speed are completely adjustable, or set it on full auto, and let the camera worry about it. Batteries, once charged give great service between charges. I currently own 3 of them.
Verified purchase: No
Was very pleased at the condition of this camera. I was looking for a reasonable option to repurpose my Pentax slr accessories from my 35mm days. Could not have been more pleased with this purchase. Takes great photos and lots of options for creativity.
