Overview

The Pentax K100D is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera introduced in 2006, featuring a 6.1-megapixel CCD sensor for high-quality image capture. It supports a Bayer color filter array, enabling vibrant and accurate color reproduction. The camera is equipped with an in-body Shake Reduction (SR) system that compensates for camera shake by moving the sensor rather than the lens. The autofocus system includes 5 AF points with TTL phase detection for precise focus performance. It offers ISO sensitivity range from 200 to 3200, suitable for various lighting environments. The K100D supports SD/SDHC memory cards for storage and features a 2.5-inch LCD screen for image review and menu navigation.

Key Advantages

The Pentax K100D's in-body Shake Reduction system provides image stabilization with any mounted lens, increasing flexibility. Its 6.1-megapixel CCD sensor produces high-resolution images with rich colors and low noise. The camera features a compact and lightweight body design, making it portable for photographers on the go. Compatibility with a wide range of Pentax K-mount lenses broadens creative options. The battery life is robust, allowing for extended shooting sessions without frequent recharging. It offers comprehensive manual controls for enthusiasts who prefer fine-tuning exposure and focus settings.

Limitations

The 6.1-megapixel resolution, while adequate at release, is considered modest compared to more recent cameras with higher megapixel counts. The ISO range maximum of 3200 may result in noticeable noise at higher sensitivities. The autofocus system with 5 points is limited compared to modern multi-point autofocus arrays, which might affect tracking performance. The rear LCD screen resolution is relatively low, impacting clarity during image review. The camera lacks video recording capability, which is standard in many newer digital cameras. Battery technology is older, and the camera does not support USB charging or modern connection standards.
