Pentax K110D
Description:
The Pentax K110D combines 6.1 effective megapixels with a host of advanced technologies to deliver high-quality digital SLR photography and user-friendly operation to all levels of photographers. The ease of use, advanced features, and attractive price also make the Pentax K100D digital SLR a perfect choice for users moving up from a point-and-shoot camera. Both the K110D and the K100D reflect a new digital SLR naming system that references the reverse compatibility that each body has with the legacy of Pentax K-mount lenses.
11-point wide-frame AF to capture off-center subjects in crisp focus
The K110D's sophisticated SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors) to automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, even when it is positioned off center. The in-focus sensor point is automatically superimposed in red in the viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation. This high-precision AF system offers a choice of two AF modes
Bright, clear viewfinder
The K110D features a lightweight penta-mirror viewfinder, which combines Pentax-original finder optics with a Natural-Bright-Matte II focusing screen to deliver bright, clear subject images with a 0.85x magnification and a 96 percent field of view.
Large LCD monitor to facilitate image viewing and menu setting
The K110D incorporates a large 2.5-inch color LCD monitor on its back panel. Its wide-view design allows the Photographer to check the monitor image over 140 degrees vertically and horizontally, ensuring effortless image viewing even from a diagonal position. With a total of approximately 210,000 pixels, it also offers digital zooming of playback images up to 12 times for easy confirmation of the image's focusing status and details. The large monitor size allows for large letters, digits, and icons on the menu screens to facilitate menu confirmation and camera operations. In addition, the color scheme between the menu listings and the background is optimized for each menu screen to assure at-a-glance confirmation, even under varying shooting conditions.
Auto Picture Mode for effortless point-and-shoot SLR photography
The K110D offers the Pentax-developed Auto Picture Mode, which automatically and instantly selects one of the four picture modes--including Portrait, Landscape, and Macro--by calculating various photographic factors to assure optimum results. Since this advanced shooting mode takes away all the concerns about aperture, shutter-speed, white-balance, saturation, contrast, and sharpness settings, the photographer can concentrate on image composition and shutter opportunity.
Auto sensitivity control up to ISO equlivalent of 3200 standard output sensitivity
The K110D features an auto sensitivity control function, which automatically sets the optimum standard output sensitivity--up to 3200, which is the highest automatic setting in its class--based on such data as the subject's brightness level and the lens' focal length. Since this function allows the use of higher shutter speeds in poor lighting situations (such as indoor sports events and night scenes), it helps the photographer to effectively reduce camera shake and prevent blurred images.
AA-battery power supply for easy battery replacement on the road
The K110D is powered by four AA-size batteries--available nearly everywhere around the globe--for worry-free batter replacement. It also accepts two CR-V3 lithium batteries.
True-to-life, rich-gradation images assured by 6.1 effective megapixels
The K110D features a large, high-performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD as its image sensor, assuring the faithful reproduction of the desired photographic intention in the resulting images--from images with beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds to those with edge-to-edge sharpness. By combining 6.1 effective megapixels with a high-performance imaging engine and advanced image-processing technologies, the K110D is designed to produce beautiful, true-to-life images that are rich in gradation. What's more, it offers a choice of two finishing touches of "Natural" or "Bright" to create a distinctive atmosphere.
Compatibility with existing Pentax interchangeable lenses
The K110D is compatible with all existing Pentax interchangeable lenses. This compatibility lets the photographer use various lenses for the same subject, or select the most appropriate lens for a given situation, assuring the top visual creativity available only through SLR photography. (Lenses compatible with the K110D are
Super-compact, ultra-lightweight body with outstanding rigidity While the K110D is designed to be compact and lightweight to enhance operability and portability, it also incorporates a newly developed stainless-steel chassis and a fiber-reinforced engineering plastic housing to reinforce its overall rigidity and durability. Upgraded standard software package
The K100D's standard software package consists of the Pentax Photo Laboratory 3 that features the reliable Silkypix image-processing engine (developed by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory) for RAW data processing, and the Pentax Photo Browser 3 that offers faster data processing speed and better operability than the previous version, and can convert RAW images to the DNG format. DNG is a public, archival format for digital camera raw data.
Save-by-day Storage Capability on an SD memory card
Images can be stored in a standard format where all files are located in one folder, or the images can be stored in folders for each day of shooting automatically on an SD memory card.
Additional features
Mounted on a Pentax digital SLR camera body--including the new K100D--this lens offers an angle of view equivalent to a 32mm lens in the 35mm format. This versatile angle of view produces natural images with a moderate perspective and an expanded depth of field (or a wide in-focus area), making it ideal for many different types of subjects and occasions, including snapshots, landscape, travel photos, and architecture.
High-performance optics
This lens incorporates a hybrid aspherical lens in its eighth optical element to effectively compensate for a variety of aberrations, which cause adverse effects on overall image quality. In order to assure high-quality image reproduction over the entire focusing range, it also features a floating mechanism, which is designed to adjust the degree of aberration compensation in relation to the focusing distance.
Limited Lens-series quality for distinctive visual description and a premium appearance
The Pentax Limited Lens series is designed for ultimate image reproduction by combining a series of mechanical and numerical evaluations with human assessment of test shot samples. True to this tradition, this new lens not only assures excellent image quality, but also produces sharp, clear images with outstanding contrast even at the maximum aperture, because its optical design has been optimized for digital photography. In addition, its lens barrel, hood, and cap are all made of a high-grade aluminum material, shaped for perfect proportions and striking beauty.
SP coating to protect the lens against water and grease
The Pentax-original Super Protective (SP) coating is applied to the front surface of the lens. Through a vapor deposition process, the lens surface is coated with a special fluorine compound to repel dust, water, and grease, making it easy to wipe off fingerprints and cosmetics.
Digital SLR-exclusive design
This lens is exclusively designed for use with the Pentax digital SLR cameras, with an image circle perfectly proportioned to the CCD size (23.5mm x 15.7mm), and optics optimized for digital imaging characteristics. Combining high-quality image reproduction with an ultra-thin, super-lightweight design, it is a perfect partner to Pentax digital SLR cameras.

I bought a factory refurbished body only since I had several K mount Pentax lenses plus a Tamron adaptall mount.This is my first real digital camera so maybe I will come back and give it 5 stars for ease of use after my head has cleared from trying to memorize all this information well enough to actually recall and apply it. I havent had any problems with only 6 megapixels or that it only uses SD instead of SDHC. 2 SD cards work well for me,especially for the price.But it is good to know taht you can get downloads from Pentax to upgrade to SDHC in future.Also,with an 8 pack of Eneloop AA cells and a LaCross charger I have never run short of power and that includes downloading pictures onto the computer on battery. Customer service from Pentax is 5 star in itself. I have always liked Pentax products( the first was a Spotmatic bought in 1967-still works) but this K110 D is really worth the money.

Im still learning how to use this camera, but I love it! This is my first SLR. Im stumbling through the menus, pushing buttons, and reading the Operating Manual. I like the feel of this camera and the menus are very user friendly.
I bought this model because of the price (I paid $300), and I can use all of my old Pentax manual focus lenses with it. But, some of the capabilities are limited with the manual focus lenses, and Im not fast enough on the focus, so I have ordered an auto focus lens (about $50 for a Tamron 28-80mm).
I wanted to write this review because I initially had problems with my 8GB SDHC memory card. My husband called Pentax and they said to go to the Pentax Imaging website (Support/Self Help) and download the firmware upgrade. We followed the instructions and within 10 minutes we were up and running again! Now I am not limited by the 2GB card I had been using.
Great camera and great support!

This was my first digital SLR camera, and I must say im very impressed. I have used higher dollar cameras before, and this Pentax branded camera can truly hold its own against them.
Most of us havent heard of Pentax. Its always Canon this and Nikon that, well there are plenty of other SLR makers that can succeed the image quality of Canikon (Canon and Nikon) very easily.
As many before have said, the noise control on this SLR is superb. Great detail with some noise, but its nicely controlled for a good balanace of detail and noise. With a simple noise filter in post processing, the image noise is nearly absent. Its nearly non-existent in higher light shots.
The focusing in high light is very quick and accurate. It searches.. and searches, and searches, then finally locks, in low light. The kit lens (18-55mm) is faster than the lens I use (Sigma 28-80 zoom macro) but I like the sigma more as it retains better detail and has a higher zoom- much better for casual photography. I have not tried a lower aperature lens (around f/2.8 to f/1.4) being a poor college student.
The lens mount supports every lens made before this camera, and many of the newer lenses. It does not support SDM, but some SDM lenses have a legacy screwmount for this camera and older *istD cameras. You can get many solid, and very nice, lenses that are manual for $50 used, saving quite the bundle.
The LCD is bright and clear, and has a nice wide viewing angle.
The LCD on the top of the camera is useful, it is absent on the lower end SLRs from Canon, Sony, Nikon and others. Its not necassary, though.
This camera is built like a tank. The battery bay and SD card bay seem sort of flimsy, but overall the camera has a very nice, solid feel to it. I thought the buttons for the menu were sort of annoying to press but that is more likely a personal matter.
The flash is adequate for what we can expect from a built-in flash, however, an external flash is probably a better for low light.
The 6.1mp CCD is a very nice sensor indeed. Dont let the megapixel gimmicks fool you, each pixel sensor in this camera is larger, and therefore collects more light- or more color. Anybody can crop a photo to become much larger even at 6.1mp, so it isnt an issue.
With my Sigma lens, I noticed that green really pops out. When I use my telephoto, image quality loses the vivid colors. I havent really used the kit lens in the feild yet.
Customer support was very quick and helpful, they answered all of the inquiries the next business day.
I would recommend Pentax to any shooter after my experience with this camera, I am no longer a Nikon guy.

Have been a Pentax user since the 1980s and own several of these fine instruments and more important a small arsenal of K mount lenses. Got the K110D as a replacement under warranty from Pentax (broke down after only two months of use and had to wait 6 months for the unrepaired IstDL to be returned to me as repaired - sent it back and demanded the camera to be replaced. By then the IstDL was discontinued and got from Pentax USA a brand new K110D body instead) - Well, it has been a GREAT camera, takes all my K lenses and other accessories - Pentax and third party, without any trouble. Lenses with an A setting perform flawlessly. I do not have stabilization but I do not need it since I shoot mostly with a tripod. I love the results from this body. The only minus I can talk about is the 18-55mm DA kit lens since it is not a match for the older Pentax primes or even some Kiron zooms. The only advantage of this lens is the convenience. You may see a sample photo here http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7116236 -
Conclusion, great SLR Body - If you already own some good quality K lenses, this and other Pentax DSLRs are the way to go. Youll not be disappointed.

I have owned this camera for over a year and have taken it all over the world. Having started with a Kodak point and shoot I was immediately shocked by the speed and picture quality, not to mention I can enlarge the photos without them becoming grainy. I have purchased three lenses for it and spent less than $100 for all three at a local pawn shop.
If your budget is restricted, this camera is definitely for you. I shopped around and picked mine up with a kit lens for $400. Awesome!!

Ive owned this camera for about 6 months now. I did an exhaustive search prior to buying it and Im as happy as can be with my purchase. Digital SLR with fabulous images. Previously I owned a nice Nikon Coolpix (convenient) and a Nikon standard 35mm SLR (better picture quality).
The camera is easy to use. The settings on it are pretty straight forward. The instruction manual helps with some fine points and details, but its not hard to learn. The batteries last a long time and are bought rather inexpensively over the net. Ive not really used the software that came with it since my computer transfers images already so I cant really comment on that.
The quality of the pictures is really very impressive - even when enlarged. I photographed a friends wedding recently and my pictures vs the real photographers were hard to tell apart (except he usually had a better angle!).
Even if this camera were the same price as its competition I think it would win. But its less expensive and a real steal.

One of the finest Digital SLR Cameras you can buy. The camera strikes a nice balance between features and usability that both the amateur and professional photographer can appreciate.
The big difference between this camera (K110D) and the K100D is that his camera doesnt have shake-reduction.
The lens kit is very nice. Also, Pentax made this camera backward-compatible with its old lenses, so you can take advantage of many of the high-quality lenses available on eBay at a fraction of the cost. This camera is especially good for the beginning/amateur photographer, and Pentax quality at this price is well worth it. In fact, this is the lowest-price digital SLR out there.
Note: One thing you might want to know is that with virtually every digital SLR camera, you cannot use the LCD screen as a viewfinder like you can with the point-and-shoot cameras. Many people spend weeks trying to figure-out how to use their LCD screen as a viewfinder and its simply not done on SLR cameras because the internal mirror (that makes it a single lens reflex camera) is covering the image sensor (CCD chip) so the LCD can only show the picture once it has been taken. Also, because of this, you cannot shoot movies/mpegs like you can on point-and-shoot. The real advantages of a digital SLR is both the ability to see through the actual lens and the ability to use different lenses (neither of which you can do on a point-and-shoot). There are other advantages too (like shooting while zooming to create motion effects, etc.).
The big difference between this camera (K110D) and the K100D is that his camera doesnt have shake-reduction.

- Currently 5/5 Stars.
I found the camera very easy to use, and it took my existing Pentax 50mm standard lens and my Vivitar 70-300mm zoom lens (although I did have to program it to receive the zoom lens--which was covered in the book that came with it).
And speaking of the book, read all the way through it because there are many references that bounce you non-sequentially through the manual. Then, you can go back to the parts that apply to you.
There are many scenery and other photo set up selections on the dials that try to emulate using film (for us new to digital). I found some more workable than others and will probably get to a point where I use only some of the selections more than others, but I did the same with film.
In short, its a good entry in the digital arena. I like being able to take as many photos as I want (and discard some later) without worrying about film usage or wondering how the photos came out. And I was quite pleased with the price.
