is pentax k100d super 999 on lcd panel pricelist

After years of promises and months of teasing, Ricoh has finally unveiled the Pentax K-1, a 36.4MP full-frame DSLR built around the K lens mount. It becomes the only conventional DSLR to offer a full frame sensor with image stabilization.

The camera is extensively sealed and features magnesium alloy construction. But despite its range-topping status and high-end build, it has a relatively low list price of $1799.

As this list of spec highlights should make clear, the K-1 makes the most of its moveable sensor. As well as the image stabilization, which is rated to an impressive 5 stops, the camera offers a host of other clever features. These include anti-aliasing filter simulation which vibrates the sensor during exposure to intentionally blur high frequency detail across multiple pixels, to avoid moiré. Then there"s the Pixel Shift Resolution mode that increases color resolution by shooting four consecutive images with the sensor moved by one pixel - effectively canceling the Bayer color filter array and lowering noise by image averaging.

The other sensor-shift modes are also clever: the K-1 includes Horizon Correction, which rotates the sensor if you hold the camera slightly off-level, and the Astrotracer system that uses the sensor"s movement to cancel-out the effect of the Earth"s rotation when taking images of stars (something it can calculate using its GPS).

The camera gets a new AF module (called SAFOX 12) which features 33 focus points, 25 of which are cross type. The central three of these offer higher precision when used with F2.8 or faster lenses and the central 25 continue to focus down as far as -3EV.

An 86,000-pixel RGB metering sensor acts to offer 77-segment metering but also aids the camera"s autofocus system, enabling scene analysis and subject detection to yield accurate exposures and automatically select the correct AF point to stay on your subject (subject tracking) when using continuous AF.

Overall, though, it"s not the clever use of the sensor that most stands out about the K-1, it"s Ricoh"s obvious focus on the core photographic capabilities. There"s a reason we chose to list the viewfinder size so far up the list of specifications - it"s because we think it"s something users coming from existing Pentax cameras will most appreciate. Sure, there are multiple exposure modes and time lapse options, but the things that most jumped out are the high resolution sensor, the well positioned dials, the large viewfinder and image stabilization - the core things that help you to get better images. Speaking of core things: some may bemoan the omission of a dedicated AF point control, though the four way controller can be re-purposed for this.

Which isn"t to say the K-1 is entirely without the occasional flourish. Aside from clever sensor shift modes (that some - particularly landscape - photographers will surely come to love), the most obvious of these is its "Cross-Tilt" LCD. The Cross-Tilt mechanism takes a tilting LCD cradle and mounts it on four legs that slide along a cross-shaped series of slots, allowing the screen to extend outwards and move in a complex manner, before the screen itself is tilted up/down.

Mounted to the back of the LCD are four white LEDs that can be used to shed light on the rear controls. Another LED, whose behavior can be set independently, shines a light on the lens mount for easier alignment when swapping lenses in the dark. The camera"s card bay and remote release port are also illuminated by LEDs.

For the most part, though, the camera"s focus is very much toward a traditional approach to still photography. Video capture tops-out at 1080/30p (which can also be encoded as 60i, if you prefer), which is a long way from cutting edge, but we really doubt that Ricoh has would-be film makers in mind with this model.

Still shooters are likely to appreciate the camera"s Smart Function system, which adds a third command dial to the top right corner of the camera and a further control to define its function. The three dials give direct control over three of the camera"s parameters with the ability to customize one of them without going anywhere near a menu.

And how much does Ricoh want for this twin-dial, weather-sealed, magnesium alloy, image-stabilized full frame camera? The list price is a fiercely competitive $1799, body only. To put that in perspective, that"s $200 lower than the launch price of Nikon"s more basic D610 and $300 less than what Canon originally expected for the EOS 6D, meaning there"s only a $100 premium over the list price of Sony"s image-stabilized a7 II.

This is a very similar pattern we"ve seen from Ricoh before, with the company"s models often including higher-end features (twin control dials, prism viewfinders and weather sealing) at a lower price than you"d need to spend to get them from one of the other DSLR makers.

At present, Pentax offers a mixture of full-frame compatible lenses, including a handful of screw-drive FA prime lenses from the film-era and the much-loved 31, 43 and 77mm FA Limiteds from the late "90s/early 2000s. However, the company is already starting to flesh-out a range of more modern "D FA" zooms, including a 15-30mm F2.8, a 24-70mm F2.8 (both suspiciously reminiscent of certain current Tamron-branded zooms) a 70-200mm F2.8 and an 150-450mm F4.5-5.6. For now, though, those looking for modern, fast-focusing primes will be disappointed.

But that isn"t the whole story, of course. Part of the reason for all the interest in a full-frame Pentax is the vast collection of K-mount lenses that exist around the world. The K-1 lets you use the aperture rings on these lenses and can give a focus confirmation beep with the central AF point, even with manual focus lenses. When you mount an older, manual lens the K-1 prompts you to manually specify the focal length so that the image stabilization can be tuned appropriately.

The K-1 can, of course, still use the Pentax DA lenses designed for the company"s APS-C cameras. By default the camera will use a 15MP APS-C-sized crop of the sensor if a DA lens is mounted but can be made to use its full sensor region, if you"d prefer. Ricoh has published a list of those lenses that will produce relatively useable results in full frame mode, if the aperture is stopped down.

The new rounder, softer appearance to the K100D"s body is certainly more appealing and appears to have become the "family trademark" as it has been repeated with the recently announced K10D. The front of the camera carries some interesting curves, one of which crosses the face of the hand grip which interestingly isn"t just for looks, it matches the increasing width of your fingers in the grip. At the back we have a fairly familiar Pentax digital SLR layout, a simple thumb grip on the right side and a set of controls clustered around the 2.5" LCD. One addition here is obviously the Shake Reduction switch.

The K100D"s body is the now familiar re-enforced ABS plastic but under the skin there is a stainless steel chassis (image below), not that dissimilar to that of the K10D.

Below you can see the K100D beside some new competition, the six megapixel Nikon D40 . As you can see the two cameras are approximately the same height but the D40 is narrower yet maintains a reasonable grip size. As you can see from the table below despite its small dimensions the K100D is one of the more weighty digital SLR"s, this mostly it appears down to the Shake Reduction system (the K110D being 75g lighter).

The K100D has a decent sized hand grip which as mentioned above is shaped nicely to match the natural shape of your hand. The rear thumb grip provides a little extra support and all of the cameras main "shooting" controls are within reach of your thumb and forefinger. The grip itself has a soft rubber coating but this does not extend to the rear of the camera nor is it repeated on the left side.

The K100D features a bright and sharp 2.5" LCD monitor with 210,000 pixels and a wide viewing angle. It also has a wide range of brightness adjustment (-7 to +7) which affects the LCD backlight and gamma of image display. The LCD is covered by a plastic screen but doesn"t feature an anti-reflective coating.

On top of the camera is a large LCD panel which provides a wide range of information about the current camera settings and exposure. The frames remaining display also doubles up to display information such as the exposure compensation setting and "PC" or "Pb" when the camera is connected to a computer or printer (PictBridge). Unlike other digital SLR"s the K100D"s panel does not have a backlight.

We have always highly rated Pentax viewfinders, they tend to provide large bright views thanks to high magnification and frame view. This was primarily due to the use of a Penta-prism, however the K100D uses the cheaper Penta-mirror type where mirrors are used of a prism. That said it"s one of the better Penta-mirror implementations and while magnification is reduced to 0.85x the view (for an "APS size sensor" camera) is still relatively large and bright.

Looking through the eyepiece the first thing you will notice are the AF frame and the spot metering frame. Normally the AF areas are not visible, the image below is simulated to indicate the position of the AF points. You can choose from Auto AF-point selection, manual point selection or center point only.

Camera shake is caused by slight movement of the hand or body at the time of shutter release. The K100D Super incorporates the PENTAX-original Shake Reduction (SR) system, which counterbalances such movement to minimize the adverse effect of camera shake. This SR system offers shake reduction effects equivalent to two to 3.5 shutter steps.

In the past, you had to either use a tripod or set a rather high shutter speed in order to prevent camera shake. The K100D Super’s SR system is designed to compensate for camera shake even in handheld shooting or at a relatively slow shutter speed. In fact, it assures you compensation effects equivalent to two to 3.5 shutter steps.*

Note: The built-in auto pop-up flash is turned off in the Night Scene, Sunset, Candlelight and Museum modes. Use of a tripod is recommended when the SR mode is not activated.
