Answer 1

Some reviews of your camera:

Personally, I'd go with a Nikon or Canon SLR - more lenses, more support, more experience.

Answer 2

The Pentax K110D had a very short run. Initially, it was priced $100 less than the K100D, its brother, because the K110D lacked vibration reduction (image stabilization). Most people opted to pay the extra $100 for VR and soon the price of the K100D was low enough to make the K110D unprofitable.

It's as good as the K100D which is pretty good. I don't think Pentax makes any VR lenses so you'll have to decide whether that's important to you. Unless you're getting a super incredible deal on the K110D kit, I'd suggest you consider the K100D or the K100D Super. The 100 and Super are pretty inexpensive. I can't say the same for the 110 -- I've had a hard time finding one anywhere for a reasonable price.

Answer 3

i think it looks like a fine camera, for its price at least.

Answer 4

The Pentax K100D Super would, IMO, be a better choice since it has image stabilization in the body.

The K200D is a newer model and should be worth the price difference.
