Sorry mate, I guess I too am guilty of getting worked up over things on list that I ought not be... just having a "JCO moment", and I apologise.
FWIW, I do agree it works a treat in some cases, I was really just concerned in some cases it did not where I thought it should, so I guess I went searching for a way to demonstrate a potential issue. Anyways, no offence taken... and certainlty I'm nothing less than ecstatic with the overall performance of my K10D so far. Night and Day comparted to my *istD. Or my MZ3, or my LX, or my MX, or my SuperA, or my MESuper, or my Spotmatic. Sad really, in a good way. - Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Sullivan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 10:53 PM Subject: Re: Shake Reduction Doesn't Work... > Peter, > No personal attacks meant by my post. > Watching the sensor move was illustrative. > But I don't thnk it proved anything. > My confidence in Shake Reduction was undermined by all this. > I couldn't feel the camera DOING anything. > That's why I did the test and made the side by side post. > I can't feel thing but I can sure see results! > Regards, Bob S. > > On 12/16/06, Peter Loveday <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" cried Chicken Little. >> > or so goes the children's tale. >> > >> > I got tired of listening to all these 'nervious nellies'. >> > I got tired of looking at movies of shaking sensors. >> > I've got the sensor cleaner turned off, so I don't feel any shaking, >> > or more specifically any shake reduction on the K10D. >> > >> > So is it working or not?
