Gaurav, Were you using a K10D with the new SDM lenses? They focus pretty quickly and are very quiet because the focus motor is in the lens. Other DA lenses will focus a bit more slowly and be louder.
My buddy shoots Canon and says that his 40D (with 9 autofocus sensors to the K10D's 11) focuses very quickly. But this camera also does 6.5 fps and is $500 more for the same MP's. -Brendan --- Gaurav Aggarwal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am hoping to buy my first Digital SLR and spent a > few minutes in a > store before my wife dragged me out :-) I use a > Pentax ZX-M with two > PKA zoom lenses right now (35-105 f/3.5 and 70-200 > f/4). > > I thought that I liked the feel of Pentax K10D but > then when I tried > Nikon D80 it sort of felt lot better.
