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 [CCD](/source/Charge-coupled_device) sensor, coupled with an [analog-to-digital converter](/source/Analog-to-digital_converter) (ADC) and a sensor-based [shake reduction system](/source/Image_stabilization) 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](/source/Pentax_K10D). The [Pentax K200D](/source/Pentax_K200D), successor to the K100D and K100D Super, was officially announced on January 23, 2008.[1] ## K100D Super On June 27, 2007, Pentax announced the **K100D Super**.[2] It retains the features and the 6.1-megapixel [image sensor](/source/Image_sensor) of the K100D, while adding support for [Supersonic Drive Motor(SDM) lenses](/source/Pentax_Lenses#Supersonic_Drive_Motor_(SDM)) 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](/source/Exif) data of shots).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The K100D, K100D Super and K110D were discontinued in favor of the [K200D](/source/Pentax_K200D) and [K-m](/source/Pentax_K-m). - K100D, back - K100D, body without lens - K100D Super ## References Wikimedia Commons has media related to [Pentax K100D](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pentax_K100D). 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["K200D Digital SLR"](https://web.archive.org/web/20080513141307/http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--K20D/reqID--10505894/subsection--digital_slr).
