Wired rates K100D "Best of Test"



This week ended on high note at Pentaxville. We just received our advance copy of Wired Magazine's November issue. This is their "Test" issue featuring "The Best Gadgets and Gizmos on the Planet 2007". Low and behold, the K100D was rated the "Best of Test" in the Digital SLR category. Other cameras reviewed were the Canon EOS 30D, Nikon D200, Olympus EVOLT E-330 and the Sony Alpha A100. Despite the wide range of models, features and price points, Wired picked the K100D by saying "Pentax's retro-cool K100D offers professional single-lens reflex quality at a price any photographer can afford." It was also re-assuring to read in their review of the Sony A100 that its antishake system was less effective than Pentax's. I think I'll open a bottle of Penfold's Grange tonight. Or, maybe I should wait until the K10D reviews come out :-)
