Product review & video
hi I'm Laurie beam and senior editor with C net and this is the Pentax K mm k mm is pen taxes entry-level digital SLR model and it comes in a variety of kits including one with a flash unit and since I think an external flash is something that everybody should get with the digital SLR that's a pretty good deal aside from having some very nice kits the Pentax is a pretty good SLR its strengths is its speed it's one of the fastest entry-level digital SLRs for everything except for continuous shooting continuous shooting it gets limited to about five shots before it really slows down and that's even with a fast card so if you're gonna be doing burst shooting then I probably stay away from this one but if you're looking for another wise fast camera then this is probably a good bet overall it's pretty well made the body feels a lot more solid than a lot of the cheap entry-level models some b
