This is a much-anticipated digital SLR. Not only does this new Pentax have a 10.2-megapixel CCD, it also has built-in Shake Reduction and a cleaning system to keep dust off the imaging device (and your prints). It's also built to take a bit of beating since it's weather resistant and has tight seals to keep dust out of the body. Not only that, it costs less than $1,000 with a lens, a very reasonable price but above the Sony alpha which has similar features (10MP CCD, image stabilization) but not nearly as rugged a body. It's also more affordable than the 10MP Nikon D80 ($999, body only) that doesn't have shake reduction. I was pretty excited taking this one out the box and couldn't wait for the battery to charge. After sitting around for a few hours (no, we weren't as bad as Southpark's Eric Cartman waiting for the introduction of the Nintendo Wii) it was time to see how this new D-SLR performed.
