Designed to deliver high-quality digital SLR photography and responsive operation for advanced photo enthusiasts, the 10.2 effective megapixel K10D features an array of PENTAX innovations in image capture and image functionality. The PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system effectively offers a 2.5 to 4 stop advantage for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions. A newly developed 22-bit A/D converter designed to convert a large volume of data more faithfully and swiftly, and a new PENTAX Real Image Engine (PRIME), designed exclusively for the K10D, produces well-balanced, true-to-life images.

The K10D also comes equipped with a new Dust Removal (DR) system to keep dust off the CCD surface, a PENTAX-original exposure system for faithful reproduction of the photographer’s creative intentions, and a dependable dust-resistant, weather-resistant body construction featuring 72 seals throughout the camera to allow photographers to continue shooting even in dusty or rainy environments.

All combined, the K10D delivers exceptionally high image quality and responds brilliantly to the exacting demands of advanced photographers.
