Have to agree with the other reviews - this really is a great camera. I'm having a lot of fun with mine. This is a semi-pro camera with a ton of features. Still learning all of the different settings on mine. But really, this is a great camera if you want to take up photography as a serious hobby.

First off - SUPERB HSN SERVICE - VERY VERY PLEASED.
This camera is truly awesome value for money - I have researched Nikon and Canon models - This beats them hands down at amateur / entry pro level and also at the competitions pro level specifications. It doesn't have 1080 support - SO WHAT - Get a video camera - This is ONE COOL DSLR and a big threat to the Canon 50D and Nikon D90... Go Pentax - This is a WINNER. Thanks HSN for great selection for your store.

this is one sweeeeet camera, I read all the hype, and all the negative, and all I can is Pentaxians are once again smiling. This is not for fooling around. The picture quaitly is just stunning, and I have owned high end Nikons, and Canons. This is hankd down the leader and the one to beat in high end rugger catergory.
The control that thiscamera offers, and the human ergonomics are very fluid, especially for those like who venture into nature - finally I can take this baby on waterfal romps, and kayaking treks...
For the money, there is no comparison, and I am in the process of buying another Pentax.
