Your experience with K10D exposure mirrors mine. I had dialed in +.5 compensation right out of the box, but found it excessive. I'm now usually right at meter exposure. Of course unusual scenes may require more or less. Like you, I'm pleased with the write and buffer performance. Haven't had to wait for the camera thus far, and I must be at the 2000 exposure mark.
