$809.00 to $1,805.00



True to its series concept, it was designed not only to assure outstanding image quality, but also to provide exceptional ease and comfort of operation and the utmost satisfaction to photo enthusiasts of all levels, including advanced amateurs. After making a thorough review of all essential digital SLR camera components and functions, PENTAX has revised and upgraded many of them, including viewfinder, shutter unit, continuous-shooting capacity, and exposure and autofocus systems. Protected by a durable, high-quality metallic body, but the K-7 is designed to be extremely compact and functional — just like all other K-series models — for enhanced portability and maneuverability.Minimize

Pentax K-x with 18-55mm lens


The Pentax K-x Digital SLR incorporates many features including Live View and HD 720p video in a very capable entry level camera for those looking to step beyond the limitations of point and shoot digicams.


Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Only


The Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera automatically conducts peripheral illumination correction when shooting JPEG images, a function that previously could only be accomplished through post-image processing using software such as Canon's Digital Photo Professional, which Canon supplies at no extra charge. Peripheral illumination correction evens brightness across the image field, making an image of a blue sky even toned throughout and reducing light fall-off at image edges. This new feature essentially eliminates one of the limitations of previous full-frame digital SLRs.Minimize


Olympus E-620 with 14-42mm lens


The E-620 has the Freedom to Move You Autofocus Live View with Face Detection (up to 8 faces) and Shadow Adjustment Technology; expands the creative shooting possibilities with your SLR. Not to mention it's even easier to capture the shot with the 2.7'' HyperCrystal III swivel LCD, providing 270 degrees of movement.


Canon EOS 5D with 24-105mm lens


The Canon EOS 5D offers photographers a lightweight, robust digital SLR that uses Canon's superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor. Its full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor combines with Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points, and "Picture Style" color control to deliver images of superior quality with enough resolution for any application. With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the 5D is the perfect addition to the Digital EOS line.Minimize
