Thanks to everyone who gave me information and advice, you have helped
me to make a decision. As the K20D is still a bit expensive for me, I
have ordered a lightly used K10D Grand Prix Edition and I am looking
forward to its arrival.
It comes with a DA 18-55 mm. which I don't need, as I already

Did you call? Sorry, have been snoozing here. But I think you said
something about people wanting to buy one or two of my K10D's? I'll
be right down to take care of that...
Seriously, I am very conflicted on this one. I am thinking I might
get one K20D, keep one of the K10D's for a backup. B

Carlos, you may have not to wait too long if you wanna buy a K10D new.
You are not the only one wanting to snam a pretty nice deal out of
K10D lasting stock.
Second hand should OK, sourcing from the guys ditching the K10D for a K20D ;)

Carlos, I agree with Godfrey to that end that the precision of exposure
matters more and more as ISO grows.
Generally I shoot between ISO 100 and ISO 320. I used to avoid ISO 640
and up but most recent shooting during that rock show proved me wrong. I
have received some quite good shots IQ-wise
I've never owned a DS, but I have owned a pair of *istD cameras. And
I now use a K10D. The K10D is capable of focusing in low-light
situations where the D failed me. I also find it's able to stop
action with continuous autofocus much better than the D. I would
guess that indicates that it's

Oh, yeah. ZX-5, LX, MZ-S, *ist-Ds, K10D. Yep, I have an understanding

Thanks Boris, Steve, Jack, Thibouille, Paul and everyone who is
contributing to this thread. Your answers are very useful, the PDML is a

Thanks for all the info, Steve. It is quite interesting and will helpe
me make my mind.
And I also have a very understanding wife, in fact she has been
insistently telling me to buy the camera, but

I understand he has one too. But does it help with auto focus? ]'-)

I have a MZ-S, a *ist D, DS, K10D and a very understanding wife. I
agree with the center sensor hypothesis suggested by Boris. When set to
center only (as I frequently do), AF speeds are very close. The K10D
seems to be right on par with the MZ-S if not better. Also, the DSLRs
all had cross sen
Carlos, I never tried an MZ-S unfortunately but..
* I think the istD (a camera I owned) and istDS (the one you own) is
really identical, if I'm not mistaken.
* the K10D AF is way faster than istD AF, just not even comparable.
I dunno how those compare to the MZ-S however.

Carlos,
If you'd be interested in a general impression. Based solely on my
recollection of the focusing speed of the MZ-S (sold in the fall of
'07), I'd have to say that the K10D is certainly no slower and it
wouldn't surprise me if it were slightly faster.
I have no sense of the difference with re
I should add, that recently I've been playing a bit. Although trivial,
but it appears that if I force only center sensor to be used in AF'ing
then of course it seems that AF becomes faster. As far as I remember
MZ-S has less AF sensors than K10D. So perhaps it plays a certain role
in the equation.

I used MZ-S only briefly for one day back in 2004 in Norway. Prior to
that I used Z-1 for one day. I found that I liked the hmmm muscularity
of Z-1 more than gentle intelligence of MZ-S (for lack of better words
for comparison).
The problem with K10D AF (at least with my sample) that sometimes

Thanks for your answer, Boris. I have tried a K10D in a shop, with the
kit lens, but I'm afraid that using it with the kit lens for a pair of
minutes isn't a meaningfu
Carlos, the best way to proceed for you, I think, is to arrange for
simultaneous demonstration.
There are cases when I find K10D AF lacking in speed and mechanical
hmmm prowess, so to say.
HTH.

I am debating if I should buy a K10D (I have an *ist DS) or not. I like
the two dials of the K10D (I miss that feature since I sold my Z-1), SR,
SDM compatibility, weather sealing and the flexibility given by the
configuration options of the K10D. On the other hand, my DS gives me a
clean 1600
