I am very interested in buying a K10D asap. I plan to spent the month of January on a personal photo trip to India. I have little experience with high end digital cameras, but thanks to Shel I have enough experience to believe it is time to make the plunge into digital.
My quandry is about the power supply for the K10D. I'm unfamiliar with L-ion batteries, chargers etc. What kind of capacity might I expect from a charged battery? I will use RAW files, flash very seldom, if at all. How long would it take to recharge the batteries? Will the charger work on Indian 200-220 50 cycle mains? Is the K10D a camera with wonderful features but tethered to a home/studio environment? What kind of company sells a camera using only L-ion batteies and lists a power cord for, I assume the battery charger, as an "optional accessory"? Obviously, nobody has actually used the K10D yet, but I'm hoping some members of the list have experience with L-ion powered cameras. I pray the answer is not "get a K100D and a case of Lithium AA batteries. Thanks, Bill Lawlor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
