Anything where you have one chance for the shot and have to move it on with minimum processing.
It's also an excellent feature for wedding pros: It's becoming increasingly common for wedding shooters to offer (for an additional fee, of course!) a "keepsake book" of 4 x 6's immediately after the wedding - as in, "right on the spot so the bride and groom can take it with them on their honeymoon". They need to be able to make fast prints from JPEGs for this to work, of course. >It's actually an excellent tool for that purpose - looks like the big P is beginning to aim high. Agreed. I think the K10D was designed to a significant extent with pros in mind. Not photojournalists or sports guys with 600mm lenses, but real, working stiffs who buy their own equipment and have to get the job done while counting every penny of their expenses. The kind of people who are facing increasingly tough times these days, BTW. That sealing is good for wedding pros, too: A wedding doesn't get cancelled just because of rain ;-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
