Verdict
There’s a lot to recommend the Pentax. I like the camera’s design, if not the menu, and it can produce the goods if you treat it with care. Certainly image quality is potentially excellent, but there is an issue with the camera’s metering system.
If you’re a keen Pentax user then the camera doesn’t offer that much more over previous models, other than the stabilisation, which may be a big saleable point. However, for upgraders, the forthcoming Pentax K10D is bound to be a more attractive option.
