Pentax's K100D is a 6.1 megapixel camera. The file size is smaller, so it may not be appropriate for professional use.
The K100D is marketed as a user-friendly digital SLR and offers several preset scene modes to make it easier for beginners to find the right settings for a particular photograph. It can also be switched into "manual" mode for users who understand aperture and shutter speed.
The camera uses an SD memory card and at 22.4 oz., it is the smaller of the two cameras.
The K10D

The K10D also uses an SD memory card and is a bigger camera at 27.9 oz.
