There is a firmware update for the K100D that allows the use of different/newer model SD cards, so you will have to do this. I had to on my K100d, for. This automatically transfers certain recognition files to the root directory. Once formatted, download and re-install the update file once again on the 2gig card. With the camera off, insert the card and then reboot the camera into the 'Firmware Menu'. I've read that the new firmware update takes care of High Capacity card compatibility issues. At the day of update official UK Pentax page still didn't have the newest firmware version 1.04 (fixing bugs from version 1.03) Load fully charged battery first! Put the firmware file on your. I've had a k-70 for 4 years and now love the camera. I did have to replace the solenoid myself because I got the black frame issue.

The K110D is Pentax's entry-level DSLR. It has 6.1 Megapixels (6.1 Million effective pixels). The K110D is youngest of three sibling cameras in terms of specifications. It differs from the K100D only in lacking an in-body image stabilization system.
The K110D has a 2.5 in LCD display screen with 210,000 pixels of resolution. It uses Secure Digital cards to record both JPEG and 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 SDHC cards is possible. Latest firmware version is 1.02. [1]
Marketing and Sibling Details[edit]
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-stop advantage, and produce almost blur-free images.
K110D, various views.
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 release button on most DSLRs.
The K100D, K100D Super and K110D have been discontinued in favor of the K200D and K-m.
