| This is a fantastic starter camera. It really takes excellent photos. The built-in flash is a bit weak for dark environments, but that's a characteristic of all built-in flashes. It was a toss-up between this camera and the Nikon D40. Both are excellent. This one has a better user interface and a nicer feel. It's a bit heavier than others, but I find that the extra weight provides a bit more stability. The only advantage the Nikon may have is the availability of accesories, but Pentax makes some wonderful add-ons for this camera. Oh, and you can use any Pentax SLR lense ever made on this camera...big selling point if you have an older Pentax. |
