Um, no, I used evaluate. If your going to post about my old thread, down load the pics and look at the exif info. Examples of why the K10d sucks once again.

My old Fuji Finepix 2800z took better pics. This one was taken four years ago of Eastern Point lighthouse.

Why can't the K10d meter worth a damn???

Do a Google search about image quality, you'll find reviews like these two, "The Pentax K10D performs quite well, both in terms of image quality and speed. Among 10 megapixels DSLR cameras, its image quality is still behind the Canon Rebel XTi, the current leader."

"Arguably the biggest rival for the K10D is the Nikon D80. At first glance the K10D appears to thrash it in terms of features including built-in image stabilisation, dust removal, environmental sealing and impressive RAW capabilities; the K10D's also cheaper.

But in our view, the D80 simply out-performs the K10D in day-to-day use. We shot with a D80 throughout the entire period of this review and saw first-hand how it handled exactly the same situations as the K10D. There were many occasions when the K10D required exposure compensation, while the more sophisticated metering of the D80 remained un-phased. We also preferred the output from the D80 using the default settings."

Ditch the Pentax and buy a Canon or Nikon, end your head aches, and heart aches, your wasting memories when taking bad pics with the K10d.

I'm sure that I'll be banned after this post.
