Welcome Barry! Wow K100D is sure a blast from the past! Made big waves when it first came out!

I recently retired (Jan 2020) and purchased a 14 year old Pentax K100D (with only1,290 shutter count) in order to make use of some vintage lenses I was given. I saw a Youtube video about the Six Megapixel Club in this forum so hope to hang around there and post some images in the future.

Looking forward learning and interacting with people on the forum.

Hi Barry,
I was up in Ontario two summers ago to tour Niagara and the area... Very nice!
Congrats on your K100...
As it happens, I started out in digital (after 30 years of having Pentax film cameras...) with a Kodak DS5200 point and shoot (it was only 6 MP) and I gotta say for medium format printing (8 X 10s and the like) the image quality was stellar...
The point is, back in 2000 there were only one or two sensor makers so our sensors are probably the same... (with the K100 having much better software and support packaging).
Enjoy your experience and Welcome to the Forum.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the welcome Bob. I also started out with a Pentax film camera (the K1000 in the late 1970's) so this is only my second Pentax. I am loving the colouring generated from the CCD sensor (I believe it is Sony) which is quite different than my Lumix FZ300. The Pentax build quality is also stellar.
