Some things I would like to see for this camera is some more 'profesional' add-on options. A specialized battery grip to extend the working life of the camera would be nice for example.
I cannot recommend this camera highly enough for those looking to buy their first DSLR, it is a well built, reliable camera from a large and trusted manufacturer.
Note : The K110D is identical to the K100D, the only difference is that the K110D is designed for sale via specific Pentax partners.

The K110D does not have the shake reduction feature, the K100D does, as I understand it.

"Note : The K110D is identical to the K100D, the only difference is that the K110D is designed for sale via specific Pentax partners."
Incorrect.
The only difference between the K100D and the K110D is the K110D lacks the Shake Reduction Feature.

Fair enough, thanks for that. I was going on the information supplied to me by the Pentax PR contact.

There is a lack of pixel strength here and that is something important to me. I like to be able to zoom and crop the picture while still on the camera. I don't know if this one has that capability but the pixel strength isn't sufficient to do that effectively.

Cropping is not supported on the device itself. And you are correct, depending on the amount of cropping you would like to do, the 6MP is probably not high enough.
