K100D review

Hello everyone,

The K100D is reviewed in this week's Amateur Photographer magazine (on sale today). One thing in particular that surprised me was mention of a less than bright focusing screen. This is contrary to what I've heard about Pentax DSLRs - has anyone used a K100D yet, & how does the viewfinder compare to other Pentax & non-Pentax DSLRs? I speak as a film user, but am looking to get my first digital later this year. I sometimes do fairly low light (theatre) photography, & the K100D's high ISO settings appear quite good, but I also tend to focus manually a lot of the time, so suggestions of a dim viewfinder concern me a bit...

I thought the viewfinder was very bright and crisp. I was also surprised by this when I read the review in Smugs.
