I just did an outing recently where I had the camera out and in my hand for a couple of hours. I can't say that I noticed any more or less fatigue than when I have done the same with the *istD. Neither one felt worse. I have the grip on both the K10D and *istD.
Funny, but I think the grip on the K10D makes it easier to hold the camera in a horizontal position, as well as vertical. I think what it is, the grip allows the pinky finger to share the gripping motion of the rest of the fingers rather than hanging below the camera. For me, this could cause less fatigue. -- Bruce Wednesday, January 3, 2007, 3:42:51 AM, you wrote: DIS> On 03/01/07, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Interesting.
