Humm. Thanks Godfrey. Its funny, the K10D and D200 are3 both in the 10 mp range, albet some differences in sensers and processing, but i need very little to PP a K10D file than i do with a D200.
So far, most things are pointing to an upgrade of some sort, to satisfy my need for sharp images with minimal PP. Or, i just use the D200 for NON action.
