Well, not exactly - it's a "preview", but pretty detailed. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/K100D/K100DA.HTM
I'm not sure what the big deal is about tungsten WB - EVERY digital camera I have ever used does an awful job of automatic WB in artificial light. The author says that the answer is to use flash... NO!!! The answer is to use manual or preset WB! It's not that difficult... I also don't understand how this camera is more compatible than the *ist series with old Pentax lenses. I thought all Pentax D-SLRs were equally so - am I missing something here? But obviously, the reviewer liked the camera. It does sound pretty difficult to not to like. I think the *ist DS was probably just as likeable (plus it has that huge viewfinder), but it most likely took SR for anyone to actually take notice of Pentax's D-SLR offerings (except Mike Johnston, who wrote a very glowing review of it). Frankly, until SR made me take a closer look at the K100D, I never realized that a D-SLR as inexpensive as the *ists (not counting the oriignal D) could really be worth looking at. Aside from the amazingly good feature set for the price, and that nifty SR feature, it's also interesting to note how virtually EVERY reviewer mentions what a nice camera this is to use with its simple, logical controls. After my sojurn in C*non land with their wacky counter-intuitive controls (not necessarily bad, just DIFFERENT and for me, difficult to get used to), this is music to my ears. The K100D really does look like a great camera - it is taking all my willpower to wait a few weeks to see what the K10D is like rather than just buying a K100D now. Oh well, I have to sell my C*non first anyway... New Doug __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
