Short Report: Pentax K100DShake reduction with every lens—at a very low price |
By Mike Stensvold | |||
Page 2 of 2 Those moving up to a D-SLR from a compact digital camera will be happy to learn that the K100D uses SD cards to store images (same as many compact digital cameras) and widely available AA batteries. The camera manual says a set of four AA lithium batteries is good for around 660 shots; I got more than 1,300 on a set of Energizer e2 Lithiums, with Shake Reduction switched on for nearly all of them. (Besides good capacity, lithium batteries have an excellent shelf life and great cold-weather performance.) Another K100D feature is a big 2.5-inch LCD monitor, making it easy
to read menus and check your images. A Digital Preview function lets
you examine an image on the LCD monitor before taking it. Contact: Pentax, (800) 821-0450, www.pentaximaging.com. Specifications
