RE: K10D list penetration
If anyone is counting, add me to the list. I ordered mine on 11/23 and it arrived here on the 29th. Haven't had much time for it yet, but, I am really happy with it so far. The size is much better for my hands than the D. Looking forward to using it. Ted Beilby -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

The PC was still working perfectly...but there was this Y2K issue. So he changed the computer for a Pentium in order to run almost exactly the same program. But now it comes the comparision. A process that could take one or even several minutes in the 286, is now instantly completed in the Pentium. And with this one there is a MS Word, Excel...(instead of WordStar) and I can design and print for him some sort of paper formularies that he used to have printed outside. So, going back to your example...I'll be fine until I compare to the newest offering. Not that the good pictures suddently become worst, it is just that I would have the feeling that they could be (even) better.

Re: K10D list penetration
Dave, If an official count is being done, add 1 for mine. I just ordered it from b&h last Friday, received it yesterday. 3 days from UPS delivery. First impression - much bigger than I am use to, but a fast and smooth machine. I expect it to be used frequently, starting this weekend for Christmas card photos. Many buttons to investigate. Works well with "m" series lenses. But I also use my other cameras for b&w, so there ya go.

Re: K10D list penetration
Well, I tend to agree with you. However for me both SR and AF are secondary, though of course on the paper K10D made many steps forward from *istD: 1. More pixels 2. Faster 3. Better AF 4. SR 5. Wider dynamic range (allegedly) 6. Weather proof 7. Dust removal in camera 8. Support for Pentax version of USM 9. Something else I probably forget So of course K10D is more advanced. But so is MZ-5n compared to MX. Yet like you said yourself, you can get excellent pictures from both cameras. Jaume, consider this. Suppose you have a certain style of shooting that does not change much over time. Suppose further that you have a certain maximal size of print that you ever decide to produce. Now, suppose that you have a camera (even digital one) that satisfies both your shooting style and produces excellent prints of your maximal size and of course all smaller sizes. Why then would you want to buy a new camera? I still maintain that *istD (I am not really familiar with other cameras of the same family) is perfectly suitable tool for hobbyist such as myself. I do admit that I am eyeing very seriously K10D 'cause if indeed it provides significant improvement of DR - it will be a deciding factor for me. And of course, if in due course Pentax will produce a firmware upgrade that will yield 16 bit RAW files - I may want to upgrade. Here is by the way some of the features I forgot to mention above - DNG support and better JPG engine. Cheers.

Re: K10D List Penetration
Steve. My comments on size (and I assume others as well) is solely based on comparison with the *ist D. The D (and DS, DL etc) is a very small camera compared to any (D)SLR, as opposed to the K10D being large. I do not think anyone will find the K10D too large. Enjoy your new camera! Perry.

It reminds me of the interest in the full frame sensor MZ-D when the (non-working) prototype was shown years ago. That's the last time I was really interested in a Pentax DSLR before the K10D.

K10D List Penetration
Well I've been lurking here for a few weeks while waiting impatiently for my K10D to arive. It did, right in the time-range that Amazon promised. It's my first DSLR -- up to about twenty years ago I shot with a Nikon F and a Linhof 45s (the least expensive Linhof ever made, but still a Linhof). Then I decided all my work was crap and sold everything except my negatives. But looking back, what I really had started to hate was darkroom work. A couple of years ago the bug bit me again and I bought a Canon S60 P&S. I have been researching and studying DSLRs ever since, and, to make a long story short, all previous cameras had something wrong with them--too expensive, too few pixels, not ergonomic enough, etc., etc. But I was unable to resist the allure of the K10D. I received it Teusday evening; so far, it's everything I expected, and more. With the comments I had read about the 'large size', I was surprised to find it smaller than the Nikon F, although I am going on memory here rather than direct comparison. So, I think I need to go shoot something.

The problems at Reed's Cameras seem to have caused be to end up "back a ways in the list" at Adorama. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
RE: K10D list penetration
But it has not translated into a huge ForSale list yet with older digital and analog bodies? greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Paul Stenquist Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 5:32 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: K10D list penetration One week after the K10D first showed up in the stores, it looks like somewhere around 20 list members have purchased one. Perhaps double that number would have one if they could get one. This has to at least double the penetration of any other Pentax camera that has been released in the seven years I've been around here. Very interesting. I'm eager to see where it goes. However, I know dealers are saying they just can't get enough cameras. That's bound to be a problem for some time to come.

K10D list penetration
One week after the K10D first showed up in the stores, it looks like somewhere around 20 list members have purchased one. Perhaps double that number would have one if they could get one. This has to at least double the penetration of any other Pentax camera that has been released in the seven years I've been around here. Very interesting. I'm eager to see where it goes. However, I know dealers are saying they just can't get enough cameras. That's bound to be a problem for some time to come.
