Pentax Digital Cameras K2000, K100D, K110D
1 of 1 found this helpful These are good cameras for the money, often avaiable at a bargain price compared to Nikon, Canon and Sony. I've seen MSN reports about thing to never by used and cameras and lens are on the list, but I WHOLE HEARTY DISAGREE WITH THIS!!!
If you by anything used or refurbished, do you homework on the product model and brand that you are considering, there are numerous online sources for cameras; dpreview.com , stevesdigicams.com, cnet.com. Small sights might have a more unbiased review, larger sights always consider sponsorship, it may or may not reflect favoritism in the ratings.
Nowadays just about ANY DSLR will take better pictures than MOST compacts or simple point and shoot digital cameras. Some exceptions are in the $350+ range, but there you are bordering on DSLR prices.
A DLSR will usually require at minimum one 28-200/300mm zoom lens or a set of two lens 18-55/80mm, 50/70-200/300mm for good overall coverage of both wide and telephoto images. On DSLR its important to get a good low side wide angle lens, since most DSLR cameras have a magnifier value associated with there lens.
On the Pentax K2000/K100D/K110D it is a factor of x1.5 so a 18mm lens becomes a 27mm lens and 300mm lens becomes a whooping 450mm zoom lens (other cameras like Nikon, Cannon, Sony can range from x1.3 to x1.6 so they are not immune to the same phenomena - it is a factor of the CCD sensor size being smaller than a 35mm film frame). If you shoot wildlife or other subjects at distance this can be a real plus over 35mm film camera.
But if you are a fashion photo type this can be a issue under some but NOT most shooting situations (the ideal portrait lens has always been considered around 75-90mm, on a digital this is a 50-60mm lens). Landscape photos often have to take in wide expanses or shoot in cramped quarters indoors so every bit of a wide lens can be very important at one time or another when shooting this type of image. A bit more challenging for the digital photographer.
With the 2 lens kit mentioned the Pentax camera does quite well in a variety of scenes. But more important than that is that it has a larger CCD sensor (often referred to as APS size C) than most point and shoot digitals which equates to lower NOISE and higher ISO settings that give better photos in lower light conditions, truer color linearity (wider dynamic range).
UNIQUE to all three Pentax units mentioned are some in camera features beyond what I have experienced in Sony, Canon and Nikon. Pentax goes well beyond that with 14 color filter effects + b/w + sepia + soft + wide/tall options that let you do a quick edit and save in camera making the images ready for instant printing. This just might save a short or two for you that looks to plan or where the white balance just was not right where you wanted due to multiple light sources (None of the others cameras I have owned went that far with options without a lot of PC editing).
About PC editing, Nikon charges EXTAR $200+ for their advanced software, Canon bundles a basic viewer but no real editing tools, PENTAX gives you BOTH an excellent viewer which gives lens and camera settings data, PLUS a full editing program for RAW image processing at NO ADDITIONAL COST.
Nikon glass has always been KING, Pentax has as nearly long a heritage as Nikon starting with ASAHI Camera Co. Pentax responsible for line of great glass, both manual and auto focus that still work with the digital line of cameras costing less $$$

GT 120 is just what Dr. Apple ordered!
In this day of bolder, faster, louder it's not always the best choice. It's back to basics and keeping a cool head vs. running wild and crazy and blowing off steam and generating excess heat. The GT 120 is a power miser and stiil an admirable performer. It plays nice with Apple bios and if you want a heads up when you boot up it is a must. A soild work horse in a day of cards all tweeked out and soon burnt out, but for what. Stick with a known performer the GT 120. You will thank me later... Went through 3 others before going back to basics on a MacPRO rebuild.
