Pentax K100D DSLR with Image Stabilzation
Pentax’s latest DSLR to complement their prosumer offerings is the K100D 6.1 megapixel camera. Selling point for this camera is the built in image stabilization along with a large 210,000 pixel 2.5 inch LCD, 16 segment metering in a steel frame in a compact design Pentax is known for.
With a basic 18-55mm lens, the basic kit goes for $699.99 US.
Pentax offers the same camera without the image stabilization in the K110D (why a higher number for a lesser camera?) for a $100 less. With the same 18-55mm lens, the kit goes for $599.99 US. The same list price as the *ist DL but I anticipate the street price will be less for the Pentax *ist DL compared to the K110D.
Pentax K10D Digital SLR Camera D-BG2 Battery Grip
Along with the release of the K10D 10.2 megapixel SLR camera. Pentax released the D-BG2 battery grip made exclusively for the camera.
“This battery grip can be used in combination with the camera’s rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to double the camera’s battery life. With a vertical shutter-release button, preview lever, two control dials, AE-lock button and green button, the new battery grip makes vertical-position shooting simple and effortless. It also features the same dust-proof, weather-resistant construction as the K10D camera body.”
