I disagree. When I first looked at the picture my eye was drawn straight to the palm trees. I think it's a very well composed photograph, and a good example of how a small element, well placed, can dominate the picture. The control over the exposure is very good too - I think Boris has taken full

They had K10 review in that issue and stated this: CCD sensitivity is 100 - 1600, but we have information that future firmware update will change that range to 50 - 3200 ! Forgive my ignorance, but how is it that a firmware upgrade can allow that, is there no hardware involved Feroze

The CCD has one sensitivity level. In the case of the K10D, that base ISO is 100. Any change from 100 is done in firmware/software through signal and image enhancement (?) or degradation (?). Within a narrow range, the process works well. Not too different from pushing film during the

Something like that indeed. Say the car can do it but obviously the manufacturer thinks the car might not be secure enough, it might decide to artifically limit specifications. IMO (but really only an opinion) DSLRs manufacturers could enable ISO 25000 if they wanted. Of course it'd be

Yes, it is possible if imaging processor allows this. In firmware v 0.2 it was possible to set iso50 and 3200. I believe for some reasons Pentax has cut these sensitivities in firmware v 1.0 On 06.01.07, at 21:32 , Feroze wrote: They had K10 review in that issue and stated this: CCD

The sensor has a native sensitiivity. Software pushes the image much as you would in PhotoShop if you accidentally underexposed. That's why it gradually deteriorates as the ISO increases. Paul On Jan 6, 2007, at 3:32 PM, Feroze wrote: They had K10 review in that issue and stated this: CCD
