The '''Pentax K100D''' and similar [[Pentax]] [[PENTAX K110D|K110D]] are 6-[[megapixel]] [[digital single-lens reflex camera]]s, launched in the U.S. on May 22, 2006. The K100D has a maximum resolution of 3008 x 2008, and can also down-sample to 2400 x 1600 and 1536 x 1024. The slowest metered shutter speed is 30 seconds and the fastest shutter is 1/4000 seconds.
The K100D features a 6-megapixel [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] sensor, coupled with an [[analog-to-digital converter]] (ADC) and a sensor-based [[image stabilization|shake reduction system]] within the camera body. The K110D has exactly the same features as the K100D, except it lacks built-in shake reduction.
The K100D is sometimes confused with the similarly named, but more advanced, [[Pentax K10D]]. The [[Pentax K200D]], successor to the K100D and K100D Super, was officially announced on January 23, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--K20D/reqID--10505894/subsection--digital_slr|title=K200D Digital SLR|publisher=Pentax|date=2008-01-23|access-date=2008-01-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513141307/http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--K20D/reqID--10505894/subsection--digital_slr|archive-date=2008-05-13|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On June 27, 2007, Pentax announced the '''K100D Super'''.<ref>{{cite press release | url = http://www.pentaximaging.com/news/136 | title = Pentax introduces entry-level 'K100D Super' DSLR with advanced features | date = 2007-06-27 | publisher = Pentax Corp. }}{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> It retains the features and the 6.1-megapixel [[image sensor]] of the K100D, while adding support for [[Pentax Lenses#Supersonic Drive Motor (SDM)|Supersonic Drive Motor(SDM) lenses]] and dust-reduction technology. Although '''K100D Super''' was announced in June, it seems that camera was in production since January 2007 (manufacture date found in [[Exif]] data of shots).{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
The K100D, K100D Super and K110D were discontinued in favor of the [[Pentax K200D|K200D]] and [[Pentax K-m|K-m]].
