If you are taking photos using Pentax photo equipment then you surely mentioned an important event: the market entrance of the DSLR camera Pentax K10D. The new camera has a new image processing unit, a quality screen, built-in camera stabilization system. The last thing is especially important for those people that have Pentax lenses including the middle format ones. They can be used with the new camera through the original adapter and stabilization system will work in that case properly.

One more advantage of the Pentax K10D – a very serious dust and moisture protection of the camera. And it is a good surprise that this option that is rather expensive in the concurrent cameras didn’t make K10D much more expensive. What is also interesting is an option of turning camera into the mode of RAW format photo. It is performed by simply pushing a button that is very conveniently situated on the camera body. The new camera seems to be able to give back to the producer its previous high reputation on the photo equipment market. The proof for it is the high prizes, that Pentax K10D received. In the nomination “Best SLR of 2007” Pentax K10D got “Oscar” in the photo market of the European press-association version TIPA (Technical Image Press Association). The camera also attracted the publishing house of the American Photo Magazine that called Pentax K10D a best digital SLR camera for experienced amateurs. The experts and employees of the magazine approved the camera to be “Camera of the year” and gave their preference to it against to Nikon D80 and Olympus EVOLT E-510. But not only in Europe and US the K10D had a great success. In its native country, in Japan, it received a Camera Grand Prix prize. This very honorable prize was given to Pentax K10D by 10 best photo journalists of Japan under aegis of the professional magazines club of the country.
