My opinions
I have only just gotten this camera, but so far I love working with it.
I don't have any experience with other DSLRs, though, but the K100D is a very nice camera with some very nice features. The Shock Reduction works well, and can even be used with fully manual lenses by entering in the focal length. It has a nice bright screen and looks like a serious camera (and I think performs like one too).
I currently use it with an old, easy to come by fully manual 50mm f/2 prime lens. It's a little soft way out at f2, but thats the lens' fault.
One minor note - if you are using a Mac, Aperture or Preview don't support the K100D RAW files yet. Hopefully this will be resolved in the next RAW update. Until then, you can use the Mac software that comes with the camera to develop your RAW files, or you can use that software to convert the RAW files to the Adobe RAW files which are a bit more portable.
Of course, don't forget to check out all the professional reviews of the camera which provide a lot of information.
