Pentax K10D

Focus-numerique is a very good reviewing site touching on all digital subjects.
They have just completed an objective review of the K10 and their conclusion is that the K10 is the big surprise for the beginning of 2007.
Certainly giving 'canikon' a lot to think about.
If you can read French go and have a visit; There are plenty of other reviews.

Cheers jmi

Here is a rough translation from Mac Sherlock Systran Translator:

Conclusion

Pentax K10D is really the big surprise of this beginning of year
2007. With this case of an ambitious reflex camera (mechanical stabilization, dust protection system, mode and priority sensitivity,
broad and clear viewfinder, format DNG etc...), Pentax is truly palying with the big guns Nikon-Sony & Canon trio. With a price certainly
a little higher, the K10D easily exceeds its two principal
competitors which are the EOS 400D and Sony Alpha 100 and rises
without a problem to the level of Nikon D80. The optical choice remains
as the principal gap which will make some hesitate in making their decision. Pentax internal motorization lenses (which should be presented at the
PMA2007) and zooms of a more general-purpose and of better quality will be shown. Pentax remains as one of the only manufacturer to develop a range of
fixed optics for digital. A very good point in attracting the serious photographer.
