Hi Markus, Thanks. Yes, I'd rather talk about photography as well. I think the small jpegs are misleading. On a large blowup of the tiff files, the Mamiya pic is somewhat less noisy than the Pentax. Of course, even after cropping, it's a much larger file, generated by a much larger sensor. That being said, I'm very impressed with both the shake reduction and the noise levels of the K10D. I'm also very happy with its performance in continuous autofocus m ode. I shot some pics of my granddaughter running in the yard this afternoon, and the camera nailed the focus consistently. More on that later. Paul On Dec 29, 2006, at 5:37 PM, Markus Maurer wrote:
