Pentax's budget K-series DSLR — the K110D, APS-C CCD, K mount, no SR, AA power, 2006.
The Pentax K110D was released in 2006 as the budget companion to the K100D in Pentax's early K-series line of APS-C digital SLRs. It was essentially the K100D without in-body stabilisation, positioned as the lowest-cost entry into Pentax digital and keeping the Pentax K bayonet for existing lenses.
This is an APS-C digital SLR taking the Pentax K mount. It uses a CCD sensor and an optical pentamirror viewfinder, and unlike the K100D it does not have in-body Shake Reduction. It runs on AA-type batteries and is a stills-only body with no video or live view, with composition through the optical finder and a rear LCD for review.
The AA power and simple controls make it a low-cost camera for beginners and travellers, with the main trade-off against the K100D being the absence of stabilisation. Its resolution and finder are basic by later standards, so its appeal today is chiefly as an inexpensive way into the Pentax K-mount system.
On the used market, check the shutter operation and any actuation count against its rated life, and inspect the CCD sensor for dust and marks; note that this model has no stabilisation unit to rattle. Test the rear LCD for dead or stuck pixels, check the card and battery door latches, and confirm the AA compartment contacts are clean. Check the grip rubber and note the K mount accepts a long line of older Pentax lenses.
