The only reason I'm not in the market for the K10D is lack of money TBH!

Good point, though I already have a couple of old Pentax lenses I will want to use I will require more at some point. I can't afford the K10D at the moment and I fear it is to high spec a camera, wasted on me, maybe one day when I am more skilled!

That is kinda what I thought TBH!

Unfortunately I have spent so many hours reading reviews and gone and confused myself stupidly!

I think my mind is set on the K100D, not only because I can use my old equipment still but also because it just looks so much better than any of the others I have found yet is still small enough for my little lady hands!

Thanks for all the advice!

Lol!

I know this is the Pentax site but is the Canon really that bad?
I'm sure if I went on a Canon site they'd say the same about the Pentax, brand loyalty and all that.

I do have more of a desire for the Pentax I have to say, I'm just trying to get the best I can for my budget!

Having read loads of reviews now I have thrown the new Canon EOS400D into the picture!!

Any comments on how this compares to the K100D??

That does help thank you Matt!

Interestingly I have just found the dpreview site too! I think maybe I've been staring at the monitor for too long and just confused myself with specifications!

Thank you, whilst waiting for a response I think I have pretty much ruled out the DL2!

The only differences I could find between the K100D and the DS2 is the shake reduction and the size, is there anything else about it that would greatly sway my decision that way?

I have an old P30 with lenses to fit and it would be nice if they would fit the new DSLR, as far as I can figure this will be the case with the DS2 but what about the K100D?

Hi there,

I am looking to buy a Pentax digital SLR and think I have narrowed it down to one of the above three.

I have searched for ages reading reviews about each and they all seem quite good but I can't find anything that shows what the differences between the three are, nor which one is the best one?

Can anybody help me please?
