Originally posted by dancel i had a couple of people look at me weird and one of my friends has a canon Xt and he says his canon is equal to my K10D, so we went to the beach one day and i told him yo lets go down close to the water and he was like, hell no man not with my slr water might get in it, and i replied ohh but i thought canon is the best camera?
P.S
you know what i dont get this whole b.s about the image quality on a k10d being dull! "its not an out of the box camera"
1) OF COURSE NOT! its an advance camera!
2) if you want out of the box get a P & S
3) you can always change the settings.
4) OK im a newbie, but my opinion everyone's eyes are different others dont see the same! so all this BS about dull. Dpreview and bs reviews that say this sorry but what standards are we going by over saturated pics?
I could not agree with you more...
I have a NIKON D40 that I bought the first day they came out...Shortly there after, my wife claimed it as hers..
No biggie, so I went out and purchased a Pentax K110D two weeks later...I quickly fell in love with it and was really glad my wife took the D40...Well soon after that I purchased a K10D figuering it has to be better than my K110D and to my surprise, it was really not...I even complained to the folks over at Samys camera and they assured me that I simply had to learn it...Well the next day I went to Ritz camera and purchased a Nikon D200 and to my surprise it was the same as My K10D..
So that is when I sat down to really try and understand all the settings and what they do and their purpose...Well when It was all said and done, MY K10D is my favorite camera by far...I am glad I kept it...It is by no means a point and shoot...One simple adjustment that I made to it was move the sharpness all the way to the + side and I usually shoot at iso 200 unless I am outdoors on a super sunny day...
Usually I use my K110D as I keep it with me everyplace I go..It is always with me in my car, but just ''today'' I bought a K100D SUPER to replace it...
My K10D I take out on weekends when I go on photo shoots...
My D200 has just been sitting there in bed room..I have only used it twice..
Pentax hit the nail on the head with their K series, now they need to step it up in the lens dept..
