Comming home from work, rather late (7 PM), I checked the post office "track and trace" facility to see how my K10D shipment was doing. It was said to have been shiped from the Danish Pentax importer yesterday: My new camera had arrived in Copenhagen (40 km away) very late last night. At 2 AM this morning, in fact.
One hour later, I heard someone knocking at my door! A Danish postman, dressed in the mandatory red jacket, was holding a cardboard box in his hand: My K10D had arrived! Woo-hoo! O put in the battery, and turned it on. Yes - the battery was already charged! I had to try shooting at once. I put in a 2 GB SD card, and set the "home town" to Amsterdam (Copenhagen doesn't show up) and put on my FA* 1.8/77mm Limited. I had to try the SR, so I turned it on. I fetched a small china statuette and took a three shots. I knew the camera had a quick-menu, much like that of the *ist DL. But this one is even nicer. I discoverred, that if I change the WB setting while looking at the shot, I just took, the LCD will change colours accordingly. WOW ! Brilliant. Well done! I hope everything goes on like this! A true Pentax - very user friendly. This camera has great ergonomics as well. I did not get the battery grip (I have ordered one, though). I know that it's very easy and convenient to hold and handle. I can't wait to do some serious shoting soon. Here's the very first three K10D shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157594510893882/show/ Regards Jens Bladt -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
