If high ISO is very important, K20D otherwise K10D. In my opinion, the
K10D felt weird at ISO > 400 after being used to an *ist DL. When the
chance to switch to the K20D came at minimal cost, I jumped on it and
I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
How high is high? I generally am shooting at ISO 400 to 800 Do I get a
better picture technically with shake reduction at a lower speed? Or do
I start seeing pixel problems with the K10D at higher speeds?
I frequently shoot with my K10D at ISO 800 and get fabulous results,
especially compared to what I used to get with my old *istD, which was
very similar to your *istDS in most respects. The K20D does do
noticeably better when you get to ISO 1000 and above, but is that bit of
performance improvement worth the added cost? Based on what you said
above, I don't think it is.
So, I would recommend you get a used K10D. I may be selling mine next
month, depending on how this new model turns out. ;)
John,
What feature improvement do I get with the K10 besides the obvious 6 MP
to 10 MP sensor and the shake reduction? Pentax came out with 2
firmware upgrades for the DS that kept it in line of the then current
models. Most of the updates were in camera viewing features, but there
were some real upgrades to the camera as well. They also added Auto
ISO,although I have never used it
