Same as the K100D, but without the SR feature. I'm sure it is a fine camera. But it would never sell over here.

Overseas consumers might look at the K100D and the K110D and react: "Doesn't have shake reduction? Man, if I can save $50 I don't care about shake reduction!"

Here they expect their electronics to be feature-packed. Leaving off such a selling point as in-body SR when it the feature can be had for just a wee bit more would result in people scratching their heads and having doubts about the sanity of Pentax, then moving on over to the Canon/Nikon section.
