The only time I might use it would be when doing a job like covering the Superbike races, where it's useful to get a few images down the wire as quickly as possible at the event. There, it would be nice to have the speed of JPEG (just resize and go, assuming you nailed the exposure) and the advantages of RAW for eventual large prints of some images. Others who might like it are wedding pros who provide a "keepsake book" of small prints on the spot at the end of the shoot (it's becoming a fairly popular service, I gather). In fact a lot of the features of the K10D look to me as if they're aimed at the wedding pro. Weather sealing, for example! ;-) -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
