While I appreciated it, that was really hard on the head to try to understand.

The translate function is doing it's best, but man, I just cannot follow it...

Shame, too, because the pics from the K10d look great.

you are sooooo right!
It was difficult to understand, but pentax life sums it up as follows:

Quote:

K10D shows significantly more details, especially in comparison with Sony’s first DSLR. Of cause, Pentax DA 16-45mm F4 lens is better than Nikon, Canon and Sony lenses used in this “test”, but it also have a big minus - chromatic aberrations visible in the first row. It seems, DA 16-45mm produce amount of CA (or purple fringing) that was hardly visible at 6 Mpix shots but too bad for K10D’s higher resolution. On the other shots made with Limited lenses in similar conditions or in the night shots there are no remarkable CA at all.

hope this makes more sense

the jap website does have some good pics from the k10 though

cheers
