Conclusion
The overall performance of the camera was, in all, outstanding. Its simple enough for even your grandma to shoot in the camera's auto mode and there are feature-a-plenty to keep even a veteran photographer trigger-happy.

Besides that, it's also a pretty safe camera to lug around if you can take the weight. The body is well protected and the dust removal sensor-shake feature will ensure that dust doesn't settle on it easily.

It's Rs. 71,290 (MRP) price tag may not be affordable to a lot of enthusiasts out there, but rest assured — the features make it well worth it. If you're looking for a simpler D-SLR with a friendlier budget, you may want to take a look at the Pentax K100D we reviewed earlier. But if you want a D-SLR that will put you up there with the real talent, then don't skimp out on this great model.
