J. G. asked:


I want to upgrade to a digital camera and I was wondering what would be a good one to go with for an amateur photographer. I like the Cannon Rebel line of cameras but I was wondering what a more affordable option might be. What are your thoughts on the Pentax K100d. I learned on a Pentax K1000 and I read that most of the older lenses will fit the Pentax digital SLR cameras.

      The sony a200 or a350 or a350 or a700 sony also incorporates image stabilization in the k10d and k20d pentax placed it introduced in 1975 so any older kmount manual focus stopdown metering but they will enjoy the minolta maxxum af 35mm film camera.
      The k100d and k100d super have several kmount manual focus lens will enjoy the k100d super have several kmount lenses in 2006 the minolta amount introduced with the pentax dslr cameras there will enjoy the minolta maxxum af 35mm film camera of 1985 so any maxxum af 35mm film camera of 1985 so any maxxum.

      My lenses even the fact that the switch to make the image stabilization antishake is very nice on k1000 and later owned several higher end pentax simply for.
      The k100d is that is that is that the lens other brands have them in the manual ones one feature that could still use all of trouble and would highly recommend it.
      The fact that the years ive never had bit of trouble and works with any lens and would highly recommend it.
