I don't know anything about that site.

The camera should be okay... personally I'd go with the K200D.

6.1 megapixels for that price? Are you crazy?

Check out www.deals2buy.com - they always got better cameras listed on that site, with 8-12 megapixel cameras that are way cheaper than the one you listed above.

You might want to look into the Nikon D60... or, if you want to save money, the D40.

Please refrain from posting if all your going to post is information that holds no validity.
6MP, is fine, even in this day and age. Further more Doos is just a starter, so the thing he should be concerned least about is the MP count.

Doos- I would try to either get the K100D or K200D as the lowest on Pentax's side.
