Review Summary

2013-08-21T21:00:00

Rated 5 out of 5

Too short a time to properly review

5 stars for build quality only. After only about 3 weeks of use its too early for me to review. The only useful comment I can make is that after thorough research and plenty of hands-on comparison, I find the build quality of the Pentax to be noticeably superior to similar models from Nikon and Canon. I have nothing against those brands. I still have my original Canon AE1 Program and doubt I will ever better the quality of some of the photos I have taken with it. I have point & shoot cameras from both Canon & Nikon. Fine up to a point but as one would expect, fall well short of even so-called "entry level" digital SLRs.

Not A.
