I bought the camera to make use of my pentax lenses. It operates as a pentax 35 mm SLR camera. The control lay out is ergonomic and intuitive. You view your composition throught the viewer, once the photo is taken you can see it on the lcd screen on the back. You cannot take videos. I got good photos on the automatic setting, but it gives me all the control with shutterspeed and aperture priority or full manual mode with all the important information in the viewer. The 6 MP is good enough for 10x8 printout. The largest SD card the camera support is 2 GB (that is 669 jepg photos at best quality or 181 in RAW). Uploading via the USB cable is very quick. The auto focus can be slow in challanging light conditions or moving subjects but you have the option of manual focussing. The battery compartment is a little too easy to open as the release button is in the place I put my little finger to support the camera. I'm still using my first set of lithium AA batteries 800 photos in cold weather.Read full review
I bought two weeks ago and can now say it has performed satisfactorily. Reason I bought it was to use my old 35mm lenses but I had to buy one digital lens owing to the increased focal lengths when using 35mm on digital. (50%) Others might be interested to know that the unsharp foreground present in most 35mm telephoto/zoom lens shots (Above 135/150mm)is increased slightly when same lens used on a digital camera. (Personally, I prefer 35mm slides but things move on.) Another good point is that one can fire hundreds of test shots through a digital camera and get to know those old 35mm film lenses better.

I beleive this model is now discontinued. I bought mine second hand and I am delighted with it. For me the benefit of putting good use to my old Pentax lenses was my main reason for buying
Great camera small light and just great results perfect its in design a very compact camera and easy to use big display and fast between snaps ease of use with pentax lenses so im happy with this model great piece of kit in my opinion
Bought the camera body second hand. It is Pentax's first entry into DSLR but was good for the price.One drawback is that it is a little bit slow focusing in automatic mode.
