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.
