Hi all, For some reason, I still haven't been able to put my hands on a K10D, which I plan to do soon.
So far I've seen plenty of sample pics taken with the K10D at high ISO settings, which of course was the main concern prior to its release. Now I feel comfortable with this camera performance in those conditions, but... less so at low speeds. IMO, one of the big advantages of digital upon film was its lack of grain in properly exposed pictures at low/medium speeds. Unfortunately, I can see grain striking back everywhere in digital photography, due to ever increasing pixel density in sensors. I'm already accustomed to see grainy pictures even at 50 ISO with P&S digicams, but I hate that in DSLR's! I especially dislike those portrait pictures were the well-lit parts of the face are color balanced while the shadow ones are yellowish due to noise. I don'r remember seeing a K10D picture, taken at any speed, where noise is negligible. Can you K10D folks show me any picture taken at say 100 or 200 ISO were noise is well controlled WITHOUT the need of de-noising? Is this camera capable to take a noise-free picture, just like all 6-megapixel Pentax DLSRs are?
