I recently had my Pentax *ist DS stolen, along with my Pentax F 50/2.8 Macro lens, and a 2 Gig SD card. Insurance will cover part of the cost of replacing the gear. For now, I just need to figure out which camera body to replace the DS with.
B&H Photo only lists the K10D and K100D models. The Pentax web site for the USA lists 4 models. K10D, K100D, K100D Super, and K110. I think I can live without the K110D option, but what about the K100D Super? What does it offer above the basic K100D? Should I look for that model someplace other than B&H? Can someone who has used both cameras please tell me what to expect when moving from the DS to the K100 or K100 Super? Are there any disadvantages at all to these, compared to the older DS? Likewise, can someone compare using a DS with using a K10D? Is the PRIME chip really much benefit in this model? Are the extra megapixels really that useful? I'd like to have the K10D, but I'm not sure if I can raise enough money on short notice to get one before an event I'm attending on July 21st. I might have to settle for one of the K100 or K110 variants, assuming I can live with their feature set. thanks, Glen -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
