| Latest Review Posted | Pentax K10D
The K10D is still one hell of a camera. With ISO ranging in the 100-200 territory it can take stunning pictures, and if used correctly the noise in 800 is still quite bearable. Anything above that and the CCD sensor seems to fall apart. You can still produce some neat B&W images though. The handling is great and the camera is beefy enough to get a good grip of. The top LCD is great, something I would never give up after getting used to it. Also what's nice is that the e-dials can be customized to each shooting mode. However it is done in the slightly tricky menu system as are a lot of other things.
Of course it's an old camera and can't quite keep up with the newer competition, but for me it's still a well working workhorse. However due to it being old there are certain hacks discovered for it (like the service mode). I'll eventually get a new(er) body, but I'll keep my K10D always as a backup since I think there's something on that CCD sensor that the CMOS can't quite duplicate. |
