Wonderfull cave and the ISO 1600 capabilities of the K20d · 01:55 PM

Just to let you know I'm back, to show you one first picture of our holidays (from one of the wonderful caves in the Vercors, Southern France), and to share my astonishment about the capabilities of the K20d at ISO 1600.

Beautiful! Best of all, that doesn't even look like an ISO 1600 shot at all- if I had to guess, I'd say ISO 400 tops! Pentax sure has improved the sensitivity on the K20- and hopefully even more on on the K-7!
