New to me K10D
Lens: Chinon 50 f/1.9 Camera: K10D 
Posted By: gcbrd, 07-28-2016, 05:19 PM

Recently bought a K10D off the Bay with two kit lenses. I'm not too impressed with the kit lenses, but the camera is definitely going to teach me a lot. It's a huge step up from my DL. Here's a couple shots I took around my house.

Congrats on the purchase! The K10D is a huge step up and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Likewise, the K-5 would be a huge step up from the K10D, so I'll just throw that up on the radar

I have a K-5, Km and K10D. Like 'em all, still use 'em all. I find my K10D is very good form 100-400 (maybe 800) ISO, my Km good from 100-800 and my K-5 from 8- to 1600, sometimes even higher.

Mostly I'm in the 80-400 ISO range with all three cameras, so I'm ok with any of these bodies. For extreme needs, I grab the K-5.

My K10D is an excellent camera, nearing onto 10 years of regular use. I'm still very happy with it's performance.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I actually wanted a K-5, but my hobbies budget doesn't quite allow for it. I'm an auto mechanic, so tools for that take precedence.

From reading reviews I thought the K10D would be too large, as I like the size of the DL, but it actually handles quite nicely.

So far I'm enjoying the camera, colors and handling. I'll be sure to visit the K10D club and share some of my future shots.
