It has 6.1 [[Megapixel]]s (6.1 Million effective [[pixel]]s). The K110D is youngest of three sibling cameras in terms of specifications. It differs from the [[Pentax K100D|K100D]] only in lacking an in-body [[image stabilization]] system.

The K110D has a 2.5 in [[LCD]] screen with 210,000 pixels of resolution. It uses Secure Digital cards to record both [[JPEG]] and [[Raw image format|RAW]] image formats. The K110D uses AA alkaline batteries to power it, though an AC adapter is also compatible. It has a 23.5 mm x 15.7 mm CCD sensor to record its images. The body itself comprises a stainless steel chassis with a fiber reinforced plastic shell for durability. Continuous shooting mode allows for up to 2.8 frames per second to be recorded, which is five JPEGs (on highest quality setting) or three RAW format images. The Camera is compatible with [[PictBridge]] printers. The DSLR is considered "entry-class" among DSLRs.

With firmware update, using [[SD_card#SDHC|SDHC]] cards is possible. Latest firmware version is 1.02. <ref>{{cite web |title=PENTAX Firmware Update Software for K110D |url=http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/20060914e.html |website=www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp |publisher=Ricoh |accessdate=22 September 2020}}</ref> ==Marketing and Sibling Details== Said to be shipped in August, 2006, the body would be sold in addition to a smc 18-55mm lens for about $599.99. The K110D would have virtually the same specifications as its superior, the K100D. The most noticeable difference was the Shake-Reduction system found in the K100D and K10D models. Pentax claimed that the Shake-Reduction system would offer a two-[[exposure value|stop]] advantage, and produce almost blur-free images.

Ned Bunnell, the Pentax Imaging Company's director of marketing, was quoted saying:

“The ease-of-use, advanced features and attractive price make the Pentax K100D digital SLR a perfect choice for users moving up from a point-and-shoot camera", meaning that the new Pentax DSLRs were easy to use, even for a beginner. The K110D and K100D, unlike the K10D, do not have the typical [[aperture]] adjustment wheel found under the [[Shutter (photography)|shutter]] release button on most DSLRs.

The K100D, K100D Super and K110D have been discontinued in favor of the [[Pentax K200D|K200D]] and [[Pentax K-m|K-m]].
