Guys! Meet the new Pentax K-m (or K2000, in the US) model, a camera targeting especially inexperienced digital SLR photographers. The core of this PENTAX K-m is a large, 10.2-megapixel CCD image sensor (23.5mm by 15.7mm), accompanied by the manufacturer’s own PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) image processing unit. The digital camera also delivers a fairly OK shooting speed level, namely around 3.5 frames per second (in the JPEG recording format).
Furthermore, the PENTAX K-m incorporates a five-point wide-area AF system (SAFOX VIII with five cross-type sensors) to assure high-precision autofocusing. By using the five sensors positioned in a cross pattern over the image field one in the middle, two on the sides, one on top and one at the bottom, this system automatically selects the optimum sensor for a given subject. It also allows the user to fix the AF detection point at the middle sensor and offers improved autofocusing speed under poor-lighting conditions. So, what do you think with this new DSLR guys? Can this match with the Nikkon D340?
