Price Paid:  $500.00 from 500

Summary:
In my opinion, this camera photos are very colorful. For now I have done almost 15000 pictures. This camera has got few very good things, what K10D don't have. This camera can do a Infrared photos atleast shutter speed 1/20 but for K10D you will have to make it 10+seconds. Also I found out that it is perfect in hands. K10D is lots of bigger. And ISO is good. ISO1600 is same as K10D ISO800.
This camera is good for people who likes to test other lights like infrared UV and others and also for them who loves photography and likes to point and shoot.

Strengths:
a) Price
b) Compatiblity with M42 lenses
c) Size
d) Picture quality
e) Colors
f) Many accesories
g) AA batteries
h) compatiblity with SDHC and SDM (K100DS)
i) Light
j) Fast AF with other lenses than KIT

Weaknesses:
1) Slow
2) Plastic chassis
3) Few professional settings.
4) Slow AF with KIT lens

Price Paid:  $450.00 from Sharper Image

Summary:
I bought this camera as by "bridge" into digital after shooting film for nearly 40 years. It has provided everything I was looking for in a first effort digital SLR, and represents a high quality piece of engineering without a big price tag.

I have had a couple frames enlarged to 16 X 20 just to see what this instrument is capable of, and was very impressed! As a new user SLR or for someone upgrading from point and shoot, this camera represents one of the better values out there!

Strengths:
Price
Weight
Size
Overall ease of use

Weaknesses:
It lacks a couple "pro" features

Price Paid:  $750.00 from Camera House, Midlan

Summary:
I was looking at getting into photography, without having to spend too much money and this camera was the perfect find. Its lightweight, relatively easy to use.

Strengths:
Price: I paid $750.00, and it came with a Sigma 18-50mm lens, batteries, 1GB card. I thought that it was quite a good deal. With the K series of lenses, almost any Pentax lens will fit the K100D Super, or K10D for that matter.

Weaknesses:
I thought the manual could have been a little more detailed.

Customer Service:
Customer service from Midland Camera House is good. They are really helpful and answer any questions I have about the camera or type of lenses I'm interested in. The prices are also quite competitive too.
