how much is the K100D super and is it still available locally? is this available body only? also, is there any available vertical grip (or even just battery grip) for this camera? thanks in advance.

that was a BIIIIIG drop, my K100D costed 150% of that value just a year ago. Though If I didn't get it, I wouldn't have around 4000~ shots made (removing the test shots of around 1000)

I like to have a battery grip too since I enjoy doing Portraiture.. I like K200D for its compactness and so does its battery grip.. I don't like the ownuser battery grip because it's bulky and you have to leave the I/O door of your camera open..

Well K10D and K20D for me is compact already.. Compared to the other brands.. and they look cute with BG3.. Ahahaha.. :):Grin::D

I like the Dicain version.. Clean.. Too bad it doesn't have a shutter button.. Well, am gonna build my gears na lang and then buy a new body + grip in the future :Grin:

Darnit, the Makeall version hasn't even been released to production yet (it's even more refined than the Dicain without the removable plug for the grip's shutter connection to the camera) :P

wow... it's not even ten days and i'm having trouble finding one in any camerahaus stores. i've been calling each store for some days already. it's good i have the ist*d but i'm looking for one mainly for the 2.5" LCD, SDM compatibility, the SR and anti-dust features.... and best of all, the price. for me it's the best sub-P25k body around, and now it's gotten better with it being sub-20k already.

maybe a lot of people think as i do, so now it's gotten quite rare. :Grin:

I'd like to upgrade my K100D to the Super version for SDM compatibility... Pentax should have trade-in options! haha... coz I'm using my K100D now more than my K10D. I only use the K10D for serious shoots with the camera on a tripod or stand, or if a huge lens is needed (for balance). I like the compactness of the K100D for everyday use, and I'm saving up to get the pancake trifecta for it to make it an overall walkaround kit!

I was given an updated price list for the K100D Super; were you looking for the plain vanilla K100D?

adrianrodriguez
06-19-2008, 09:36 PM
afaik the plain vanilla k100d's just about out of stock from most where I know. Not unless I sell mine at a high price (then get a K20D *snicker*)

hehehe. nice! :Grin: are the lenses included?

lol herbert, I'll only throw in the kit and the 50mm (I found my 70-300mm VERY useful) if and only if the K20D I get has a DA* 16-50mm.... which will require me about errr.... 2 years to make ipon, not unless Pentax decides to sell it at a bargain on Black Friday or Memorial Day :)

good afternoon, i just read this thread today. is there a run on the k100super? has it become a 'must have'? i got mine from camerahaus for p22 body only and tama nga good feedbacks here and abroad. also lots of good old lenses screw and bayonet. kaya lang wide very rare and i have to make-ipon muna. i am making do with convwersion units. a good xmas gift for myself, sigma or pentax.

Well, if it ain't available in Camerahaus, I doubt that you can get it anywhere else.

You can try scouring tipidpc.com for second hand ones though.

well, lets say that it is the affordable entry-level DSLR pentax offers. the K200D is still so expensive for a person having a small income like me. :P but hey, K100D Super has very good features it offers like the "SR" system, ISO 3200, and much more. just invest on the lenses. :)

And I owned K100D (K100D Super predecessor) sans the dust removal and SDM features...
