The PENTAX Digital SLR Camera K10D's Video Output Format
The old analogue TV format will be stopped. With low definition old TV used to watch high-definition digital images inappropriate.
The PENTAX K10D digital SLR camera just continues to provide the old video output format. This Design is an extremely inappropriate, today.
The consumer needs the VGA or SVGA 800*600 or higher, and need to switch VGA and DVI Adapter ports. The VGA or SVGA or DVI connector can be micro-ports, and connect to the Camera’s body.
Will can also: With the camera's internal monitors signal provide for an external video port. Will be the high-definition video signal, and exceed that VGA. You can easily connect to the external display unit. The RAW format images to be immediately observed, and large size display.
If you will go to outdoor photography, do not want to carry a heavy notebook computer, and meanwhile the need for immediate viewing large images, the camera must be able to output SVGA signals. It is connected to with external Micro Display or 7 Inch Light LCD Display.
If you are a serious-photographer, you will need to immediately watch the large size image at outdoors. This requires the image have to relatively large size display. The Camera's Display is too small, and could not meet requirements.
An especially handy Micro Display, You can watch the images of 10 Inch or above, SVGA 852*600 or 800*600, at outdoors! The Power consumption is 50mA 3V only, and Very minimum weight.
The Outdoors under bright sunshine, you can be: Better Display, more Agile, and Larger image!

Many peoples never use that old TV video signal output for watch Photos, on the Digital SLR camera. The design does not value.
Some earliest DSLR image processor only covered the old television video signal output.
The PENTAX K10D new image processor has supported HDTV video and digital LCD signal output function; Digital photos can switch to high-definition video signal output.
K10D image processor: PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine), made by NuCORE Inc.
However,PENTAX engineers only offer an old television video signal output device on the K10D. This is the worst.
In fact, this is not a technical issue,but thought the problem.
PENTAX K10D has hardware equipped, the need to improve the firmware, for SVGA or Digital LCD video output unit.
The Digital SLR Camera can support direct printing; but why is there no support for connecting external monitors? (For a big screen direct display)
I guess,CANON Digital SLR camera will provide high-definition video output, less than one year.
(I have used the PENTAX cameras over 20 years. With the PENTAX Super-ME begin. I had more PENTAX cameras.)
