That's true, Markus. Such photographs (done with the D) never turn out well enough to publish :-)That is if they were ever actually recorded in the first place.

November 2006 22:59 An: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Betreff: RE: Enabled - with a D200 Well the D200 is a very resourcefull camera. A couple of people in my camera club have it. A couple have a 20D or a 30D. Many have the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D (attractive local camera shop offer) and a couple have Pentax'es (D, DL, K100D) one has a Pentax 6x7. I was the only one using a Pentax for a very long time. (The days (Seventies) when Pentax sold more cameras than Canon and Nikon put together, are l o o o o n g gone). They all produce excellent photographs BTW. What I really want is a fast camera. Fast AF, FPS and Write Speed. And low noice. I have heard that the K10D is not much faster than the previous models. Tha't really bad news. This is where Pentax is really missing out: 3 FPS unlimited (JPEG) and 9 shot RAW burst is good - or at least better. But certainly NOT pro-level specs. The D200 does 37 JPEGs and 22 RAWs - is this at the maximum speed at 5 FPS? That's MUCH better. Five years ago some Canon digital camera did 8 FPS. It sounded like an Uzi gun, leaving Pentax miles behind, as far as speed is concerned. For a pro shooter speed IS an important issue. For me too.

I have heard that the K10D is not much faster than the previous > models. Tha't really bad news. It's also incorrect, as far as I know. The AF is (reportedly) significantly faster than any of the previous bodies. The FPS is reported to be a little better than 3 fps (some reports suggest as high as 3.5), which is also an improvement. And the write speed is, with a 150x card or better, good enough to write JPEGs until the card is full. RAW still stalls after somewhere from 9 to 12 frames (depending on which report you read). But that won't prevent the wailing and wringing of hands about the failings of a not-yet-released body. Sure, I'd like 5 fps for at least 20 frames. And I'm one of the few people who post to this group who would actually use that feature if it were there. But I can live without it. And I expect the AF to be a noticeable improvement over my *ist-D, and to get even better once the new DA* lenses are released. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

The output is excellent, and it is full frame (Which would be an advantage for how I'd use it). I'd like a FF body for my Nikon glass to use alongside my F3 and that's the best option. It would be mostly a studio/landscape body for me, while the K10D will be used for street work.

Re: Enabled - with a D200
Congrats. I have only run about 4500 frames through mine so far, but i like what i am getting. Puttuing it through some high ISO this weekend and i will report. I hummed and hawed about the grip, but it balances the 70-200 Vr lens well and gives me that D1h D2H etc feel to the camera. The Nikon rep at GFM suggested the camera functioned best by being "0'd" out. So far i find that about right. The vivid can be to vivid i'm afraid. Works well with the Expodisk and the AWB is pretty good at ~most~ applications.
