Pentax K100D 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Body Black AF Faulty

The Pentax K100D is a classic 6.1-megapixel digital SLR camera body featuring a 23.5 x 15.7 mm APS-C CCD sensor, renowned for producing rich, film-like color rendition and high natural contrast. Designed with a native Pentax KAF bayonet mount, it features built-in sensor-shift Shake Reduction (SR) image stabilization, a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, top LCD status panel, pentamirror viewfinder with 0.85x magnification, and shutter speeds ranging from 30 s to 1/4000 s plus Bulb. Powered conveniently by four standard AA batteries and recording to SD memory cards. Offered strictly for spares, repairs, or manual focus use due to a non-functioning autofocus system.

Overall Condition: Spares or Repair

The camera body is in good cosmetic condition with light handling marks, surface scuffs, and clean rubber handgrip texturing. The optical viewfinder is clear, and the rear LCD screen and top status panel show light surface wear without cracks. The battery chamber and card slot are clean. Mechanically, the camera powers on, shutter fires cleanly across all speeds, sensor-shift Shake Reduction operates, and images record properly to SD card. However, the in-body drive-screw autofocus (AF) system is not functioning (will not acquire focus or drive AF lenses). Sold as-is for manual focus optics, parts, or repair.

The early Pentax CCD DSLR family (K100D, K10D, *ist D series) has developed a strong modern following due to the distinctive film-like character and color science of CCD sensors. While a failed drive-screw AF motor prevents automatic focusing with AF lenses, the camera remains a great low-cost platform for manual focus K-mount primes (like the M or A series), as the in-body Shake Reduction and focus confirmation indicator still function smoothly with manual glass.
