Pentax K-m reviewed by Digital Life

The Digital Life section of Australian site Brisbane Times has a rather short review of the Pentax K-m DSLR. Check out the full Pentax K-m article on their page.

Like: The camera continues the Pentax style of no-nonsense SLRs. There are no gimmicky concessions to customers moving up from compact cameras. Every function is a genuine photographic tool. The Pentax kit lens is particularly fine. Image quality is exceptionally good, with one caveat.

Dislike: The camera has one serious flaw. JPEG images straight from the camera are unimpressive both in sharpness and in colour. We are at a loss to understand this because the RAW images are excellent. JPEG and RAW can be recorded simultaneously, so in one sense it is not an issue but it does mean that to get the best from the K-m you must be prepared to work with RAW files. If you use a Mac and iPhoto this will not be a nuisance but PC users will have to come to terms with RAW.
