Sound Advice: Pentax K10D camera is a Porsche for a Pontiac price

Q: I'm buying a digital SLR camera and you write favorably about Pentax. I've seen the K10D, their top model, on sale recently with a $100 rebate. That makes it the same price as the entry-level Canon Digital Rebel XTi and Nikon D40x. Do you think the K10D is a better buy at approximately the same price? Anything else I should consider

A: I have used Pentax cameras for years and have always been pleased, particularly with the beautiful color rendition they are renowned for. (If you want to see a sample, look at the Paul C. Buff post under "Field Trips" on my Website.) Whether the K10D is right for you is best determined by what kind of camera you want and need. There are three classes of digital SLRs: professional, consumer and "prosumer."

Professional models are heavy-duty workhorses with lightning-fast responses and a wide range of settings. This category is completely dominated by Canon and Nikon. Prices start at over $3,000 and go way up from there.
