Bestbuy.com placed the order today. I swore I would not place one of these silly posts before I got it but ............ could not resist.

K10 on the way.

I almost gave in this morning - I had it in my hands!

I think I would have made the same post . . . . . .

Enjoy, I may not be too far behind you.

Bestbuy deal is not bad. $899 +tax free shipping . All said an done total was $940 something. I up the shipping to 2 days.

I will be selling the kit lens (already have one I don't use) and getting the grip. shopping this weekend for the grip and have email out to Sigma about rechipping the flash. I will be the devil on your shoulder DO IT DO IT DO IT (insert devil smiley here)

Congrats -

I got my K10 just about a week ago. It is a great feeling to actually hold it in your hands.

I find that I hold it and work the menus alot. More than taking pictures. I already know how to take pictures but have to really learn the camera. I am going to shoot a workshop tomorrow witht he K10. Just have to make sure I don't try to get too creative too fast.

good stuff man, congratulations.

so happy with mine, i dont know what i'd do with out it. as far as the sigma. I might go and buy the 540. with the rebate, it's not that much more than the sigma. maybe in due time when i get another body, i might spring for the sigma, but until all the issues are resolved, or when I at least get to talk to them in person during the next expo.

happy shooting!

I found the k10d at ritebuys.com for $789 with the kit lens and $30 shipping!
Thats where I am ordering mine from.

Congrats Pat,
It's good to hear you finally got the k10. I know you'll enjoy it. Is this a lead in to the real world of LBA? You know you'll have to post first pic's.

things here are starting to turn around but I'm still insistent on a new k100 I really don't have the need for 10mp right now and In a few months to a year the k10 will be lower in price. (MAYBE)

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

Congrads Pat. A nice camera to own!

Congrats Pat. I know you've been lusting after it for awhile, I'm glad you decided to go for it and I know you will enjoy it.

I'm looking forward to some good K10D Sox pics at Fenway from you next spring.

vievetrick · 01-27-2007, 08:13 AM

Thanks all. They wait is on. You can count on seeing some Sox pictures come spring. First game I have tickets to is Patriots Day Game April 16th.

Hey, you get a two-fer. you get to see the end of the Marathon also.

*barondla* · 01-27-2007, 07:32 PM

Congratulations on the camera. You will love it. There is a learning curve. Even with already using a DS. There are still modes that I am trying to figure out, and what to use them for. It is a splendid machine. So much control over so many things.
thanks
