Testing the K100D and some more K10D hype
Hello everyone, Just browsing the archives today, I see there's been a couple of reports on the K100D already, so there's little new I can add. I'd like to add my voice to the choir praising the anti-shake, though. For the last week, I've had a pre-production K100D on loan from Pentax Norway, and played around with it for a while. It had firmware version 0.2 when I got it, but with permission I upgraded it to the latest 1.01. Did I mention the anti-shake? It really works. I was able to get reasonably sharp pictures at 1/90s with 800mm focal length (FA*400/5.6 + 2X-L). The menus are evolved from the *ist series, and are easy for long-time pentaxians to navigate. Unfortunately, there was a terrible lot of noise in the red channel with the camera I have had. I expect this has been rectified in the production cameras, because any ISO above 200 was unusable. I also downloaded the version 3 of the Pentax Photo Lab, and though I didn't like the interface much, the functionality has certainly come a long way since version 1. Great that they still provide free updates to the raw conversion tool for old digi-slr buyers too. Another thing I noticed from the archives today is that Aaron has got some news about the K10D that makes him want to sell his 6x7. While I'm not sure whether he an I have seen the same news, the K10D certainly will have a number of very pleasing features. Some of which will hopefully make it stand out from the competition equipped with the same CCD. My apologies for not being able to substantiate the hype, but I've promised not to reveal what I have seen and learned. However, I do know that there will be a press release in the first week of September that will address many of the interesting points regarding the K10D. It will also, IIRC, reveal more news about the MedF-D. Just now, I wish I had a ticket to Köln...

Re: Testing the K100D and some more K10D hype
It would be nice if there were a thumbwheel to alter the plane of focus as set by the AF, maybe with a viewfinder indicator, to maximize foreground focus. This would put me in the K10D/K1D checkout line for sure. I can't derive this from reading the Holy Crap thread and cannot be sure it has never been discussed but with the 67 with an aperture ring and its hyperfocal distance indicators I can guess an appropriate focus to maximize foreground focus (something I found desirable in MF but rarely used in 35mm). With digital I guess you can manually focus and use the DOF preview button but I never used a DOF preview button much. - Original Message - From: Aaron Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 7:18 PM Subject: Re: Testing the K100D and some more K10D hype There is no rumor, just confirmed facts that are under embargo -- so people who know can't share.
