The Pentax K100D combines 6.1 effective megapixels with a host of
advanced technologies including a Shake Reduction (SR) system to deliver
high-quality digital SLR photography and user-friendly operation to all
levels of photographers. The ease of use, advanced features, and
attractive price also make the Pentax K100D digital SLR a perfect choice
for users moving up from a point-and-shoot camera. Both the K100D and
the K110D reflect a new digital SLR naming system that references the
reverse compatibility that each body has with the legacy of Pentax
K-mount lenses.The Pentax-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system in
the K100D effectively offers a two-stop advantage for sharp, blur-free
images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as when using a
telePhoto lens or shooting in low light without a flash. The SR
mechanism is designed to minimize camera shake by oscillating the CCD
image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic
force, while adjusting the speed of oscillation in proportion to the
amount of camera shake detected by a built-in sensor. As a result, the
system does not require special anti-shake lenses and can be used with
almost all existing Pentax interchangeable lenses. |
