Rain Storm or Dust Storm, The Pentax K10D Doesn't Care

The new Pentax K10D is a rugged, full-featured digital SLR camera for experienced photographers. With a weather-resistant, dust-proof case that includes 72 different seals - including around the shutter release button - to prevent whatever's outside from getting inside, this camera is especially suited for outdoor photography. If dust should happen to get in where the 10.2 megapixel CCD chip resides, Pentax's Dust Removal system comes to the rescue; the combination of its Special Project coating plus the internal, vibrating shift mechanism ensures that no errant piece of dust will make its permanent home on the image sensor.

Other features of the Pentax K10D make it a terrific value. In addition to the 10.2 megapixel sensor, the .95X viewfinder, and 2.5-inch, 210,000-pixel LCD monitor (with 140-degree viewing angle), this digital camera also offers a shake reduction system that helps to keep images steady when using a telephoto lens or in low-light conditions. Unlike some other shake reduction systems, the Pentax system does not need a special lens to work.

The K10D also includes an 11-point auto-focus (AF) system with both static and continuous auto-focus. And as with all Pentax digital SLRs, it is compatible with any Pentax lens produced. As an added bonus, the Pentax K10D is eligible for the Toyota FJ Cruiser giveaway that we wrote about previously: Any eligible person that takes a Pentax K-series digital SLR for an online/in-person test drive and then fills out the contest entry form before December 31, 2006, may win a new Toyota SUV in the drawing in January 2007.

The Pentax K10D digital SLR should be shipping this November with an expected price of around $900 (body only), just in time for the holidays. (This would definitely be a heartwarming Christmas present for that advanced photographer on your shopping list.) Ordering the Pentax K10D is possible now; at RitzCamera.com you can buy the Pentax K10D with a 18-55mm lens for a special bundle price..
