Two new Pentax dSLRs mark end of *ist D name
Like their unfortunately named *ist D cousins, the K100D and K110D will accept a wide array of Pentax K-mount lenses, as well as screw-mount and 645- or 67-system lenses with K-mount adapters. Both new cameras record images onto SD cards and can be set to automatically create a new folder each day, to help organize your photos on your card.
The Pentax K100D will hit stores first, in July at a suggested price of $699.95 when sold as a kit with the Pentax SMC 18mm-to-55mm zoom lens or $619.95 for the body only. The K110D will follow in August for a suggested price of $599.95 with the same kit lens or $519.95 for the body only. In addition to the two dSLRs, Pentax has introduced a new limited-edition lens: the smc Pentax DA 21mm f.3.2 AL, which will ship to stores in July for a suggested price of $549.95 and sport a pancakelike design similar to the company's smc P-DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited.
