    Good camera and the price is great, but I'd probably go for the 10 MP K10D myself. 6 MP is small-ish for a DSLR these days.

    The Circuit City price shows as $600 with a $100 rebate? What gives?

    In addition to Image Stabilization, it also has the dust removal system. This is Pentax K100D Super, not K100D.

    The K100 Super supports the new ultrasonic lens that has a built in motor, which focus a lot faster and more quiet.

    BTW, I tested the Anti-Shake with my K100 and it works quite well... better than my Lumix FZ20 (moving-lens instead of moving-CCD)

    This is a good deal.

    6mp is more than sufficient #1. what a noob, if you're harking over mp, you shouldn't be getting a dslr.

    BTW, the picture size of 6M pixels using "good" quality mode is about 3 Mbyte each.
    The noise is very low up to ISO 800. ISO-3200 is noisy but 1600 is still very usable.

    How about the compatiblity of lenses and options of lenses for this pentax. I'd live to get a canon mark eos but thats way too expensive.
