The review looks good :thumbsup: ... I wonder if it is easy to get a 18-200mm (Sigma, Tamron) and a 50mm 1.8 for this camera ?:think: Than dun buy D40 liao get this instead
Would you get the K100D now that K10D is in store? :think:
I think I may if the Kit price is less than S$850! Use it as a backup body. :thumbsup:
If you are a good bargainer, I'm sure you can get one set of K100D for that price The K100D is a great camera, got excellent SR, and its DR is one of the best, got ISO3200, and it's cleaner than K10D at higher ISO, it's smaller and lighter. Go n buy one lah
Hi Feng Wei,
I'm also interested to buy K100D as backup camera, my concern is, Pentax lenses are more expensive than C/N.
Take an example of very famous prime lens 50mm F1.8 cost around SGD 130 and I heard that similar DA lens is more expensive and must be pre-ordered first.
But indeed, K100D is good camera... better handling compare to my 400D.
so far, checking the stores, Canon indeed have a cheap and fast 50mm but they also have an expensive version too. In general, most of the other C lenses are more expensive. Also, for the K100D and K10D, you don't need to buy a ridiculously expensive lens for image stabilisation. Multiply that by several lenses and you will see the Pentax owner is drinking coffee at coffee bean while the same C fellow is drinking Nuwater....;p. But yes, C by virtue of their market base has a wider choice of similar lenses to choose from...

Yes, you're right.
Do you know how much the price of Pentax Prime 50mm f1.7?
I intend to sell my 400D away and buy K100D+kit+50mm f1.7.
I believe these would be a good choice for me.
Please advise and thanks.

BTW, I think some of the advice here still stands. If you are happy with the 400D, there's really no reason to change to the Pentax and re-invest on your lenses unless the K100D has something you need, eg. built-in SR, etc. Afterall, Canon does have more lenses available here in Singapore.
I have only kit lens with my 400D.. so i can simply sell it off and jump to Pentax from scratch
Hello,
Which shop sell K100D for less than S$850?
This price i speculate only! :bsmilie: Fengwei was once offered $950 at a shop in Simlim!!!
So, it really depends on your bargaining power. :sweat: If you can buy at less than $1K, itz a good bargain oredy, me thinks.
Dun worry, if Pentax dun have the lens you want. You still have Tokina, Sigma, Tamron & friends. They also sell you good lens at more affordable prices than C & N. Even my D80 is using the Sigma 17-70 lens.
I held the K100D once at AP & i love the handling. But at the end of the day, i need a better continous shooting mode to do some cool animation in my design works. ;p
