The K10D definitely has some attractive attributes but for me the increased resolution isn't strictly one of them. WRT actual ergonomics I find that the grip is just too wide to feel comfortable in my hand and the control wheels are a stretch. Also the manual WB which I use a lot is less well thought out than it in on the *ist D. As such I'm still shooting my *ist D far more than I expected that I would prior to my K10D purchase. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
