K10d Newbie from the good old UK

Grizm · 08-18-2007, 01:47 PM

Hi to all the boyz all the girlz and those who haven't yet decided. Bought the k10d 04-08-2007 took it away on holiday, pressed the button about 1500 times
mostly in auto and aperture (Av) mode.

This is my first dslr. So far I'm impressed.

previous kit:-

zenith-e (many moons ago)
minolta dimage 5
fujifilm s9500

thanx in advance to all your helpful answers and tips for my continuing PENTAX
experience.

Great Choice.
I used to have a Nikon D200, but I sold it and bought a K10d also. I love it because it is weather resistant, the sr built into the body, and the dust shaking featureand it feels really solid

. I also thought about the Olympus evolt 510, but the build quality was less than exemplary. It felt like a toy because it was too light and the live view was very slow. I sold my Nikon and now I have the extra money to spend on lenses. Enjoy your new camera!
