Yeah I myself thought that B&W at 800 and 1600 ISO would be interesting to try. Can't wait to get my hands an a K10D :) -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailma

I'm with Shel on this. I rarely shoot faster than 800 with the *istD, and, reassuringly, I see a very nice rendering at 800 with the K10D. Yet the rendering of noise with the new camera is much more like film grain one might expect. I might find myself shooting more 1600 BW with this camer

Sure, although I was hoping it might be a little less than the pic shows. However, it's not particularly objectionable, and upon further viewing, It's starting to grow on me. Yes, the "film like look" is, I think, what I find so attractive. 800 ISO is quite nice, and I can see using that even wh

More noise than the 6MP bodies was essentially guaranteed, as noise is linked to sensor site size and the 6MP sensors have much larger sensor sites. But it's very well controlled, and has the more film-like look that Pentax has maintained on its bodies than the competition (This is one reason I

I haven't seen the grip listed at either Amazon or B&H. I didn't ask my dealer about it. I suppose I should. Paul On Nov 18, 2006, at 12:27 AM, William Robb wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Paul Stenquist" > Subject: Re: K10D Looks Like Seattle

Thanks for posting the link. I took a look at the 1600 ISO shot, and I'm not particularly impressed with the amount of noise. It seems that the istDS is, or at least, can be, quieter, if that's the right term. Admittedly, it's not too bad, although at some point it would be nice to see more imag
