Another stroke of brilliant camera advertising comes our way from Pentax. They've released a video show and tell of their new 10.2 megapixelK10D (to be released in early November). In the video Pentax employee John Carlson spends a little time in the gorgeous stream/river that runs behind the Pentax offices in Colorado. While hanging out in the elements he discusses the K10D's new anti-shake technology (offering a 2.5 to 4 stop advantage depending on lens focal length), dust removal system, rapid shooting rate (3fps to card capacity for jpegs, 3fps up to 9 frames for RAW) , extensive weather protection built into the camera and the fact that any Pentax lens ever made will fit the K10D body. If this camera performs as well as its features and specs indicate the K10D will be a very welcome addition to the prosumer dsrl market.

Estimated street price for the K10D body is $900. If Pentax offers a sweet deal on body & lens combo purchases or even a respectable discount on that $900 price tag then the K10D may be the hot dslr this holiday shopping season.
