Pentax K100D Super Creates Myth: DSLR Officially Breaks Below 3000 Yuan - Mini Journal -- Mini Journal

This is absolutely a moment of historical significance - the price of digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras has officially dropped below the 3000 yuan mark! The one that created this myth is the Pentax K100D Super. For an SLR with CCD dust removal and anti-shake mechanism, this is absolutely a price that defies conventional thinking. Since the Pentax K200D will be launched soon, the K100D Super can now offer a body price of 2998 yuan today. The cost-performance ratio is so high that there's no need for the editor to say more; it's truly at the same price level as mid-range digital compacts (DCs).
