"5 out of 5 Awesome Rating - The K200D's image quality is excellent. We shot pictures from ISO 100 to 1600-in dark alleys and on brightly lit beaches-and exposure was spot-on."
-MACLIFE Magazine, August 2008
Highest overall rating for K200D in basic DSLR category "Very good image quality. SLR body is one of the few that has envrionmental seals to prevent moisture and dust from entering the camera while the lens is attached."
-CONSUMER REPORTS, 2008
PENTAX has to compete with bigger brands...to do so, they've had to work hard to stake out a different position for the K20D. That position is better performance for the money, a rugged body and a superbly designed interface. It proves the old adage from Avis that not being first means having to try harder. PENTAX did just that and succeeded.

"Coupled with PENTAX's recent advances in resolution and in-camera shake control, this excellent and remarkably inexpensive 18-55mm II zoom should produce satisfyingly sharp images for even the newst of newbies."
-POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY, July 2008
"Impressive performance, 14 megapixels at a relatively low price; weather sealed; nice control layout; wireless flash control. The bottom line: Pentax's 14MP K20D is a great choice for a midlevel SLR and offers a lot of bang for the buck!"

"This (K10D) is a brilliant camera. PENTAX has returned to its origins, when the company produced affordable, reliable, pioneering SLRs with outstanding lenses. This model will bring a nostaligc smile to many seirous amateurs."
-THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, January 2007
"The PENTAX K10D is packed full of kit, too much in fact to list here effectively, but it looks like a little gem. It’s packed with cool, but more importantly user-friendly features (a digital depth of field is another good example, it doesn’t replace optical depth of field checking, it backs it up by allowing you to take a snap then check the image on the screen to assess depth of field), is robust and has some neat technology that should help get better results more easily...over many years reviewing cameras of all types, PENTAX has consistently produced some great products and looking at the K10D, it is continuing that great tradition. So for one, I can’t wait to get one to play with."

"EDITORS' PICK - BEST OF TEST"
-WIRED MAGAZINE, 2007 TEST ISSUE
"For the photographer shooting from a moving vehicle or trying to keep up with a running athlete, this camera is for you. The K100D is PENTAX's first digital SLR to feature a Shake Reduction system combined with high-precision auto focus and auto sensitivity control."
-PDN GEAR GUIDE, November 2006
"Hot on the heels of its K100D and K110 consumer-oriented D-SLRs is the PENTAX K10D, a 10.2 megapixel model with built-in Shake Reduction, Dust Removal and a dustproof, weather-resistant body."
-DIGITAL PHOTO PRO, November/December 2006
"In the boisterous parade of new 10-megapixel DSLRs, here comes the tough guy of the bunch, the PENTAX K10D. We knew PENTAX had a 10MP DSLR coming, but we didn't quite expect this level of construction and capability."
-POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY, November 2006
"The technology built into the PENTAX K100D is superb."
-OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY, November 2006
"We were always great fans of the classic PENTAX K1000...so when we discovered how much the PENTAX K100D followed the simple and easy-to-use philosophy...we loved it immediately."
-PC PHOTO, November 2006
"...this camera produced consistently satisfying photographs. RAW images are sensational. We had to do less exposure fiddling with this camera than with any we have tested. We were amazed at the quality of pictures taken at ISO3200. Mirror lock-up for long exposures and a preview button that puts up an instant picture are features you won't find on cameras under $2000. This is a real photographer's tool."
-THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, October 2006
"Simplified operation and a user-friendly interface make the PENTAX K100D a good choice for consumers new to the digital SLR market. The K100D makes no bones about it. This camera wants to be your first digital SLR. It boasts a lightweight, relatively compact design and interchangeable lenses, allowing greater versatility for photographers looking to enhance their potential. PENTAX particularly emphasizes their sophisticated, 11-point autofocus system, which hopes to aid new users in accurately and clearly capturing their intended subject. The K100D's image stabilization is also an attractive feature for users worried about handling their new toy."
-www.digitalcamera-hq.com, August 2006
"Few things do more to improve photographic quality than image stabilization, and this model builds it into the camera body-at an entry-level price."
-AMERICAN PHOTO, July 2006
"...putting (shake reduction) technology in the camera body means it works with any PENTAX interchangeable lenses made in the last 30 years."
-THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 2006
"This is a terrific choice for travelers looking to step up from a point-and-shoot to a compact SLR. The fact that it can operate on 4 AA-batteries is another plus for folks who plan to use it far afield."
-The Gear Hunter, NEWSDAY, May 2005
