Pentax K100D Super snapping great

Take the splendid K100D, add a few new features and what have you got? A K100D Super.It’s the same old 6.1MP K100 we always knew and loved but now it gets Pentax’s dust removal system – previously confined to the high-end K10D – to eliminate that enemy of DSLRs, flecks of airborne debris on the sensor.While it was at it Pentax added in support for SD cards of the High Capacity persuasion and made it compatible with its soon to be launched range of stealthy Supersonic Drive Motor (SDM) lenses which focus faster and make less racket – think Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or Canon’s Ultrasonic Motor lenses.So now we know why the old ones are being sold off cheap – bag one while you still can.EssentialsPentax K100D SuperPrice: £TBAOn sale: TBAContact: PentaxRelated stories:Gadget of the Day: Pentax K100D DSLRNikon’s baby DSLR makes it to 10Pentax’s g-old school SLR
