Another website to review the Pentax K100D DSLR is DC Resource who like the camera for its good photo quality; low noise through ISO 800, Image stabilization system Solid construction, 2.5″ LCD display, manual controls and the onboard RAW software. However they didn’t like the continuous mode thought the buffer memory fills up quickly and found the white balanced options limited.

The new Pentax DSLR is a throwback to the iconic K series of SLRS in the late seventies and in fact is compatible with a whole gamut of Pentax lenses like PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF- and KAF2-mount lenses; screw-mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). It includes a 2.5 inch LCD which sports a wide-view design and features a 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD image sensor which is capable of 6.1 resolutions and also includes a penta-mirror viewfinder. The K100D has the highest auto sensitivity setting in its class, an impressive ISO 3200 and picture modes include old time favorites like Portrait, Landscape and Macro

In the end the website writes "With a street price of a little over $600 (with the kit lens), the Pentax K100D is quite a bargain. It doesn’t have the resolution of most of the competition, but it offers solid build quality, great photo quality, and image stabilization for not much money. If you’ve got a Pentax lens collection this camera is a no-brainer, and if you’re buying your first D-SLR then it’s also worth a look. The only people to whom I’d say “stay away!” would be those who take a lot of fast action shots, as the buffer memory fills up way too quickly.”
