I have a Pentax K100D. Does anyone have this camera and/or opinions about it.

 

[o hey tyler]

how do you like it? How long did it take you to get comfortable with it?

Never had one, but I'm sure its a great camera.
Go practice with it and you'll find out how long it takes to become comfortable with it... And maybe you'll take a few nice pictures.

I don't have one, nor have I ever used Pentax. But you asked if anyone had the same camera, and if they had opinions about it. So I answered yes, because I am sure someone else has the camera and/or has an opinion about it.

Hmmm, Im curious. The question was if you had one and if you had any opinions about it. So the answer would be yes if both applied. Since you dont have one I dont see the reason for your answer by answering yes because you dont have one and so couldnt offer a sensible opinion. You should have simply wasted everyones time and answered NO.

The only Pentax camera I have ever owned was a K1000(years ago). You might check the two links below for more information.

The question was "does ANYONE have a Pentax K1000D, or opinions on it". I answered yes, because I am sure that SOMEONE has a Pentax K1000D and/or an opinion on it. The OP didn't post any more information than that. Sorry I wasted .0003s of your life while you read my response.

No, that wasn't the question.

The entire post was:

I have a Pentax K100D. Does anyone have this camera and/or opinions about it.

Making the single word answer, yes, valid.

It's unfortunate the OP has such poor written communications skills but........

Wow, welcome to the forum. I'm really sorry I asked..

 

[JoshC.]

Bahahaha welcome to TPF!!!

Not trying to chase you away, but this is predominantly Canon and Nikon here. DPReview.com has a dedicated Pentax SLR forum.

part of the problem... I'd say.

Too bad we couldn't be more welcoming...



If you intend on using this camera with legacy manual focus K-mount lenses, I highly recommend trying to pull a little extra for a used K10D. Among other improvements, the K10D is equipped with a penta-prism viewfinder rather than the K100D's Penta-mirror. A bit brighter which results in more comfortable manual focus. I don't have this particular camera but I have demo'd it quite a bit. I like it although by today's standards it is a bit obsolete (even though I'd jump on an equally old K10D if the price is right). Even back in '06, Pentax was a late comer to DSLR market and was playing catch up. Today, they have pretty much caught up and gaining market share in certain corners. Good luck.. I'd provide more details but my time behind the camera is a little foggy.

If a more welcoming place for pentax users is what you seek, I suggest www.pentaxforums.com. IMO, that site is more content rich and organized for pentax, asahi, takumar users and collectors than the TPF.

Wow, welcome to the forum. I'm really sorry I asked..

Apology accepted.
