What's great about it: Just about everything, good value
What's not so great: Noisy shutter mechanism
I love this camera. So many features. Very nice printed Manual-1/2" thick. Took a couple of days to read thru everything with all the options & settings choices, but I am comfortable with it now & just love it. The 3" screen is very easy to read & the Menus are easy to use. The shutter mechanism is a little loud, as others have said, but if that is not a problem for you, go for it! You can't go wrong with this camera. I have been using Pentax cameras since the K-1000 in 1972 - still have it & it still works! And my Zoom Lens from my 10 yr old Pentax film camera fits the K-r. Very reliable brand. I highly recommend this camera for a Novice -has 'auto picture' setting, or Mid Level Photographer.

What's great about it: Features, shooting speeds, ease of use, comfortable.
What's not so great: A little loud
I just got this camera Friday and have been shooting with it over the weekend. The features are amazing color extraction, HDR, cross processing and all easy to use. All the manual controls are what you would expect just turn a dial for aperture shutter and sensitivity. Was accidenatlly shooting ISO 1600 and the pictures were still sharp not optimal but better than i expected.The focus and shutter maybe a little loud when ripping of 6fps but not a deal breaker in anyway. I have larger hands and the grip feels very comfortable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: nothing so far
This is my 1st DSLR.
During Xmas, the price from BestBuy couldn't be beat. Took a couple of days to figure out the settings and very satisfied with the camera and it's output especially in the Manual Mode. Have already used it at 2 parties and got excellent results. Also the ability to use AA batteries (with the adapter) is a plus.

Have no regrets with this purchase.
