The K10D is a good camera, pretty complex, a big control set and is
able to produce good images if you put some work into them. But also
consider Olympus's E-510 for "out of the box" quality, both images and
kit lenses. Plus, it's a lot lighter, the K10D verges on the weigh of
some of the semi-pro models like Nikon's D200.


Hello, Rich:

My K100D is built like a tank, so, why shouldn't it be rather heavier
than corresponding cameras from Nikon? As for Canon, its entry level
DSLR's seem positively frilly!
