Reviews of the Pentax K10D (body only)

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent photo quality; well-designed and solidly built body; premium features for its price class; nice kit lens.
The Bad: Occasional autofocus hunting; Shake Reduction only buys you a little over one stop.
The Bottom Line: A great feature set for the price, pro-level customization, and excellent photo quality make the Pentax K10D a bargain amateur dSLR. Only unremarkable performance holds it back from joining the pack leaders.
