Here’s a summary from ePhotozine: “With the possible exception of frame rate, made up for in part with the Shake-reduction and dual RAW capability, this camera is up there with Nikon’s D200 and Canon’s 30D. Packed with features that have been well thought out and are easily accessible in a body that has been built to withstand the pressures of hard use in typically English climates it has a lot going for it. If their lens line-up takes a similar leap in the next twelve months, Pentax will be back toe-to-toe with the big boys. This is a serious advanced amateur or semi-pro camera.”

In summary the positive points of the Pentax K10D are:

• Weather sealed body with s/s chassis
• Dual RAW formats supported
• Good 11 point AF system
• Sensitivity priority programs
• In camera anti-shake should keep lenses reasonably priced
• Good battery life.
• Very well priced

The negative points:

• Existing lenses not up to the camera’s capabilities
• SD compartment door release fiddly
• Battery grip a little quirky
• ISO1600 a bit too noisy
