The cam will sell for $649.95 for the body and a DA L 18-55mm lens and the kit is aimed at first time DSLR buyers. The cam has a 12.4MP CMOS sensor and sensor-shift shake reduction. The rear LCD is a 2.7-inch unit with Live View and Face Detection. Pentax also crammed in HD video recording capability at 720p and 24 frames per second with any lens. The cam gets its power from plain old AA lithium batteries, which is a bonus in some minds.

The news addition of the camera is video recording mood. It has ability to capture high-definition video of 1280x720 resolutions with cinematic frame rate.

Previously I mentioned that it is a compact and light weighted camera that may be the more preferable for the travelers and the users can take images with one hand. As it has auto picture and scene modes so it could take perfect images and that will be perfect for the new photographers learn DSLR photography.

I have impress to see that the camera will run with an easy-to-find AA lithium batteries and that will help anyone to take 1900 shots in a single charge. When you will buy the product the retailer will provide you the following equipments:

• Software CD-ROM S-SW99
• USB Cable I-USB7
• Strap O-ST53
