Nikon implements compression on their RAW data files. I'm not entirely sure why but the D200 model has a user mode to switch between compressed and uncompressed RAW. My two conjectures are that they don't necessarily use lossless compression on the RAW data, or that they allow you to turn off the compression to improve performance if you're doing high-speed sequence capture. > Still, K10D feels much more fitting my hand. > > I am pondering replacing my set of slowish zoom lenses with one > super-zoom.

Bulky, slow, decent but nothing special in image quality. The Pentax DA50-200 is small, light, slow, and quite good on image quality.
