	Pentax Optio S - Ultra compact: Digital Photography Review
		PENTAX, however, saved vital space by approaching the design of the lens barrel in an entirely new way - achieving the storage of the lenses in two stages and allowing the central lens group to deviate from the optical axis with the innovative "Sliding Lens" system.
		PENTAX also incorporated a significantly revised optical design which, when combined with the "Sliding Lens" system, achieves a reduction in camera depth of approximately 55%*.
		PENTAX, however, took a much more painstaking approach to achieving minimum dimensions in the design of the OptioS - reassessing the function and location of each component within the camera, and repositioning them where necessary to achieve more compact dimensions through a greater degree of tessellation.

	Pentax 10D – A Hands-On Report

	Pentax K100D (body with 18mm-55mm lens kit) Reviews. Digital cameras Reviews by CNET.
		About 30 years ago, Pentax released the K1000, a film SLR that would become legendary as an inexpensive workhorse camera with which countless students would--and still do--learn the finer aspects of photography.
		Pentax claims its shake reduction will give you approximately 2 stops leeway in exposure, meaning you should be able to halve your shutter speed twice below your typical slowest comfortable shutter speed and still shoot reasonably sharp images.
		Pentax's 11-point through-the-lens (TTL) autofocus system is the same as that of the *ist DS2.

	Brief History of Pentax Cameras - Photoxels
		The Pentax (derived from PENTAprism refleX) camera was the first camera to incorporate a pentaprism viewfinder and a reflex mirror system.
		At around this time, Pentax takes a fork in the road and begins to introduce all types of cameras that are just a blur -- to me (apologies to those of you who might think otherwise).
		The Pentax Spotmatic II was introduced in 1971 in all of the world except Japan, where it was introduced in 1974.

		Whereas the Pentax 67II needs to be returned to a service center to have its custom functions programmed, the Pentax 645NII allows you to program all 9 of them yourself using the LCD display.
		Not new to this model, and not unique to Pentax, the ability of the camera to imprint a variety of shooting data next to each frame is very worthwhile.
		Many Pentax lenses, both for the 645 and the 67 formats, have a small sliding window in their lens shades.

		Pentax caused a bit of a stir when they announced the K100D, which is their first digital SLR camera to include a CCD-shift camera shake reduction system.
		As the Pentax K-mount used on this camera has remained pretty much the same over time, a large selection of lenses can also be bought second-hand, which can be great for photographers on a budget.
		Existing Pentax SLR owners may also wish to upgrade, whether it is from a film or earlier digital SLR.

	Camera Test: Pentax K100D - - PopPhotoOctober 2006
		True to Pentax claims, we found some surprises on the image quality front and in the camera's performance, which don't have anything to do with the SR system.
		In the past, Pentax *ist cameras like the DS2 scored some of the lowest (though still respectable) resolution numbers in the 6MP DSLR class while turning in the lowest (that means best) noise levels at ISOs from 200 to 3200.
		Apparently, Pentax's new processing engine backs away from the blurring filter that was used to minimize noise at the expense of resolution on the older *ist DSLRs.

	Shutterbug: The Pentax K100D
		In 1952 the Asahi Optical Company of Japan created the Pentax (PENTAprism refleX) line of cameras and were the first to incorporate a penta-prism viewfinder and reflex mirror system into a camera they called the Asahiflex I. This camera featured a cloth curtain focal plane shutter, shutter speeds of 1/20-1/500 sec, and a bulb setting.
		The Pentax K100D is a 6.1-megapixel digital SLR that includes a Shake Reduction (SR) system that offers a two-stop advantage for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as when using a telephoto lens or shooting in low light without a flash.
		Lens was a Pentax smc P-FA 50mm f/2.8 Macro with an exposure of 1/160 sec at f/18 in Shutter Priority mode (it was windy).

	Adorama News Desk: Pre-Photokina: 10MP, $900 Pentax K10D SLR
		Pentax has joined the 10MP entry-level DSLR war with today's announcement of its K10D, the first in its class with a weather-resistant body.
		All Pentax lenses made since 1964 will work with the K10D (PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF- and KAF2-mount lenses; screw-mount lenses with an adapter; and 645- and 67-system lenses with an adapter) and will effectively be turned into anti-shake lenses, since the anti-shake technology is built into the camera.
		Pentax says it's developed Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME) to produce "well-balanced, true-to-life images." A 22-bit A/D converter is included to quickly transfer images while maintaining accurate color tones and richer gradation from the CCD to the imaging engine.

		Pentax didn't just change the name, though (but I'm glad they did) -- inside the K100D is a CCD-shift image stabilization system.
		Pentax gives you four alkaline batteries in the box, which will quickly find their way into your trash can.

		If you're a newcomer to Pentax, be sure to browse through and see what kind of resources the Pentax community has to offer.
		This obviously isn't a Pentax product, but due to Pentax's class-leading backward compatibility these old gems are or more interest to Pentax shooters than to users of other camera makes.

	NEWS! - Pentax plans to focus on digital
		The two items would appear to be intended for dealers, rather than the general public, but since they're easily accessible on a public website to anybody who has a knowledge of the Russian language, the news would appear to be somewhat of an official public announcement, even if not originally intended in such a manner.
		With this announcement, Pentax becomes the first company from the so-called "Big Five" photographic brands, which will completely focus on digital cameras of various types (including professional SLR and consumer digital cameras), and also production of hybrid photo/video cameras.
		The news really isn't that surprising, but it is definitely significant for Pentax users and retailers that the company intends to be first to make the leap to an entirely digital product lineup (with the exception of medium-format cameras, anyway).
