Pop Photo K10D Test
Take a look at popphoto.com, the k10d test is in and the claim that with this camera not only does Pentax become a serious player in the dslr field but it is an all star player. Take a look. DG -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Pop Photo K10D Test
The noise figures are especially impressive. Last night I dug out Pop Photo's tests of some competing 10 mp models--D80 and Alpha 100, for both of which Pop reports noise numbers (rather than just characterizations like Low). The K10D pretty much beats the competition, except for the Nikon D80 at ISO 800. But the D80, as we know, applies so much redution at 800 and 1600 that images lose detail. Even still, the K10D at ISO 1600 produces cleaner images than the D80 does at the same ISO. And here's the surprise. I also dug out Pop's recent review of the K100D. At most equivalent ISOs, the K10D also produces less noise then the K100D. Along with many others, I was very worried about noise from the 10 mp sensor. But I also hoped to be wrong. I'm pleased so far. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Pop Photo K10D Test
Boy they had to get really picky to get a list of What's Not (Hot) Weather sealing make for slower access to battery and card It might take a whole second to open one of these doors! Anyone notice a Magenta color casts in dark shadows with their camera or has this issue been fixed with the release version of the firmware? I am not that much of a pixel peeper so I have to come across this on my images.

Shooting several rather extreme lighting circumstances yesterday to stress the K10D sensor's dynamic range, I noted virtually no fringing (with the FA20-35 lens) and no magenta casts in dark shadows.

Re: Pop Photo K10D Test
My recent wedding shoot included shots in a dimly lit restaurant with deep shadows in the backgrounds. No magenta cast in any of more than a hundred shots.
