Pentax DSLR Overview

Hoya Pentax had recently frozen (read: canceled?) the long anticipated but never delivered medium format 645D. With that in the deep freeze, let's focus on the current Hoya Pentax DSLRs.

Kx0D-series
Okay, that acronym is not fun to use or say, but Pentax has the K20D, a 14mp DSLR with a Samsung sensor competing in the $1000+ mid-range segment, along with its predecessor the 10mp K10D in the under $1000 segment, being quite possibly one of the best bang for the buck DSLRs.

Kxx0D-series
The Pentax K200D is the leader of this AA-pack, borrowing the 10mp sensor of the K10D, and offering a value-packed DSLR to K-mount users. Along side, but also more in the rear view mirror, we find the K100D Super, a slightly beefed up edition of the K100D.

The lightweight m-L series
Pentax decided to head into the L-direction to deal with smaller dSLR sizes. The K2000 K-m dSLR and two new DA-L lenses are ushering in the new era.

The Other K-Mounties
Also part of the K-mount, and very related to the Pentax K-series are the Samsung GX-20 and GX-10.
